+LAPACK provides routines for solving systems of simultaneous linear
+equations, least-squares solutions of linear systems of equations,
+eigenvalue problems, and singular value problems.
+
+This script builds LAPACK against ATLAS. As such it requires ATLAS as installed
+by the appropriate SlackBuild. This build conflicts with the lapack.SlackBuild
+but you may try to have both installed if you definitely want, see below.
+
+Do read over README.SLACKWARE *before* building this.
+
+NOTE: The download link provides a package with lapack-3.3.1 patched against
+some of the presently known bugs of the 3.3.1 release. Please consult the
+LAPACK-3.3.1 errata file (http://www.netlib.org/lapack/Errata/index2.html) for
+more details about the corrected bugs.
