This package is part of SuiteSparse.
+This requires a BLAS/LAPACK implementation. Choose one of these package sets:
+ * OpenBLAS (includes both a BLAS and a LAPACK implementation)
+ * atlas (includes both a BLAS and a LAPACK implementation)
+ * blas, lapack (the Netlib reference implementations)
+If more than one set is installed (assuming there are no packaging conflicts)
+then the auto-detection will use the first implementation from this list that
+it finds. If in doubt, choose the Netlib reference implementations; other
+packages that require a BLAS or LAPACK implementation may not build if they
+are not configured to detect/use alternate implementations.
+
metis is an optional dependency and will be used if found.
