Bug#604858: libatlas-dev: Customization fails from source

[Hongzheng Wang]

Package: libatlas-dev
Version: 3.8.3-29+custom1
Severity: serious
Justification: fails to build from source


Hello,

I would like to report a building failure bug about atlas.  The
customization procedure is no longer as smooth as previous version.
Some specific errors are found when building the packages:

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/hwang/tmp/atlas/atlas-3.8.3'
make: *** [custom-stamp] Error 2

As a result, only the following two packages are created:
libatlas-dev_3.8.3-29+custom1_all.deb
libatlas-doc_3.8.3-29+custom1_all.deb

Any suggestion to fix the problem?

Thank you very much.
