Thank you! Found the 3.6.0 binaries and will use it. I've spent a lot
of time trying to compile 3.8.2, but just checked and 3.6.0 will work
for the project I'm working in.

Can we provide a SlackBuild for repackaging these ATLAS binaries on
slackbuilds.org, as it is done for OpenOffice? ATLAS takes a lot of
time for compiling by hand, so I think this can justify the use of a
binary.
