If you installed the libraries in non-standard locations (i.e. not in
/usr/local/lib or /usr/lib), you need to tell the configure script somehow
(it can't magically know where you put something).

The standard way to do this is via the LDFLAGS environment variable:

        export LDFLAGS="-L/my/directory/lib"

(In general, you have to tell it where include files are too, via
CPPFLAGS, but that is not needed for ATLAS.)

Once you do this, delete config.cache and re-run configure.
