On Ubuntu you can install cvxopt directly from the terminal:
sudo apt-get install python-cvxopt
If this for some reason does not work or if you want to compile cvxopt
yourself, you will need libblas-dev and liblapack-dev. You can install
these libraries from the terminal as follows:
sudo apt-get install liblapack-dev libblas-dev
(I'm not sure if you also need libatlas-headers and/or libatlas-base-
dev.)
