I have installed R, Octave, Maxima, TexLive and several other

from cvs but have some problems installing lapack3-dev. If my
interpretation of the output below is correct lapack3-dev
requires either refblas3-dev or atlas3-base-dev. It appears
that there is some kind of conflict between these two packages
and r-base-dev.
Unfortunately the choice of blas can be very confusing. You
should look for packages with "gf" in the name (gf -> gfortran).
Otherwise you're liable to get a blas which depends on the older
GNU fortran compiler, g77, and this may well conflict with R.
I don't have access to an ubuntu system at work, but from home I
can check which packages I have installed on ubuntu 8.04.
