Installing lapack, and even more ATLAS are much more involving than just 
typing make, unfortunately. If you are not familiar with building 
fortran code, I strongly recommend you to install those packages through 
your distribution (assuming you are on Linux). Which distribution are 
you on ? binary packages for blas/lapack/atlas are (at least) available 
for debian/ubuntu/FC (6 and 7) and open suse.
