Are you using ATLAS? If so, where did you get it and what cpu do you have?
Yes. I have Atlas 3.8.2. I think I got it from http://math-atlas.sourceforge.net. I also included Lapack 3.1.1 from Netlib when building it from source. This worked on another machine. According to /proc/cpuinfo, I have a quad-processor (or core?) Intel Xeon. It is running the Linux 2.4 kernel (I needed to build a load of software including NumPy with an older glibc so it will run on older client machines). Maybe I shouldn't use ATLAS for a server installation, since it won't be tuned well? We're trying to keep things uniform across our sites though. Thanks! James.
