Ubuntu 14.04 unable to locate package install libatlas-base-dev

Question

After many attempts and web searching I decided to ask :)

I am trying to install scipy on Ubuntu 14.04. As I have it libatlas-base-dev is a dependancy.

sudo apt-get install libatlas-base-dev

returns Unable to locate package

Ubuntu Software Server returns Not found. Same with sudo pip install libatlas-base-dev.

Please help.

have you enabled the universe repository?

try to do this:

make update to your package in first time and install the package after

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get --yes install libatlas-base-dev

it works well in ubuntu 16

In order to install SciPy Stack on Ubuntu OS, you have to install the folowing packages :

So, just run this command from a sudoer user :

$ sudo apt-get install python-numpy python-scipy python-matplotlib ipython ipython-notebook python-pandas python-sympy python-nose

or this one from root account :

# apt-get install python-numpy python-scipy python-matplotlib ipython ipython-notebook python-pandas python-sympy python-nose

I have the same problem as @HenkG, in that I'm unable to locate package, though encounter this problem not through installing Scipy. Your answer doesn't really answer the question directly, I'd rather you answered how to enable Ubuntu to locate the package.
