use synaptic , search using fortran77 and blas and atlas (separately) and
install all those libs- not an exact answer but thats what worked for my
ubuntu 10.10 couple of days back

specifically ubuntu packages


4.0-2 (libcnf-dev)
3.0.0-1ubuntu1 (revolution-mkl)
1:4.1.1-5 (libnetcdf6)
3.8.3-22ubuntu2 (libatlas-base-dev)

I am not sure but I these were the packages that finally got the job done-
using synaptic
