I built it myself. I checked with my Debian system at home, and,
interestingly, there 'dtrmm_' is loaded. Then I reinstalled R-1.5.1, and
'dtrmm_' is still missing! So I get different results on different
_machines_, not different versions of R. I have different setups of atlas
on the two machines. Can that be the cause? Note that not all BLAS
routines are missing, only a selected few. I configure with

./configure --with-gnome --enable-R-shlib
