- Next download ATLAS and lapack. You can get ATLAS from http://sourceforge.net/projects/math-atlas/ and lapack from http://www.netlib.org/lapack/#_software. Untar ATLAS
mkdir -p ATLAS/BUILD; cd ATLAS/BUILD ../configure -b 64 -Fa alg -fPIC --with-netlib-lapack-tarfile=/home/user/lapack-3.5.0.tgz --prefix=/home/user/bin/ATLAS/ make; cd lib; make shared; make ptshared; cd ..; make install export ATLAS = <prefix dir> pip install scipy Download wcs and untar ./configure --prefix=/home/user/bin/wcs/; make; make install ./batchbuild.py --prefix=/home/user/bin/pyrap/ --lapack-root=/home/user/bin/ATLAS/ --lapack-lib=/home/user/bin/ATLAS/lib --wcs-root=/home/user/bin/wcs
