error installing cvxpy-feature-dccp from ubuntu

[paolo.chi...@gmail.com]

Hello,
I would like to install cvxpy-feature-dccp, which I get from https://github.com/cvxgrp/cvxpy/tree/feature/dccp
When running python setup.py install in the folder, I get:
(last lines)
Processing cvxopt-1.1.8.tar.gz
Writing /tmp/easy_install-TF5ErV/cvxopt-1.1.8/setup.cfg
Running cvxopt-1.1.8/setup.py -q bdist_egg --dist-dir /tmp/easy_install-TF5ErV/cvxopt-1.1.8/egg-dist-tmp-PSwyoH

         int_t blk_nrows = 0, blk_ncols = 0;

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -llapack
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lblas
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
error: Setup script exited with error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

Python is the one from anaconda2. numpy is installed as I have been running examples from standard cvxpy installation.
Is there any idea on what the problem really is, and how to solve it?
Thank you,

You need to run these lines before you install cvxopt (which happens during "python setup.py install")

sudo apt-get install -qq libatlas-base-dev gfortran export ATLAS="/usr/lib/atlas-base/libatlas.so"
