@@ -4,6 +4,16 @@ linear and nonlinear problems numerically, and for performing other numerical
experiments using a language that is mostly compatible with Matlab. It may
also be used as a batch-oriented language.
+This requires a BLAS/LAPACK implementation. Choose one of these package sets:
+* OpenBLAS (includes a LAPACK implementation)
+* atlas, lapack-atlas
+* blas, lapack (the Netlib reference implementations)
+If more than one set is installed (assuming there are no packaging conflicts)
+then the auto-detection will use the first implementation from this list that
+it finds. If in doubt, choose the Netlib reference implementations; other
+packages that require a BLAS or LAPACK implementation may not build if they
+are not configured to detect/use alternate implementations.

These optional dependencies will be used if found (see INSTALL.OCTAVE, in the
Octave source, for a description of what each dependency offers):
