[R] installing mgcv (Knoppix/Debian unstable)

[Ben Bolker]

  Just in case anyone cares or is hitting the same problem:

to install current mgcv (1.0-5) on 1.9.0 on Knoppix/Debian unstable I had 
to:

# cd /usr/lib
# ln -s /usr/lib/atlas/libblas.so.3 libblas-3.so
# ln -s /usr/lib/atlas/liblapack.so.3 liblapack-3.so

Otherwise compilation couldn't find -lblas-3 or -llapack-3
 
(I could have gotten away with the links in /usr/lib/atlas instead of
/usr/lib, as /usr/lib/atlas was listed in /etc/ld.so.conf)
