Thanks! This was actually for a colleague, but apparently now everything is working fine. (The fink that worked on G4s doesn’t work, but the -framework veclib or -framework Accelerate worked fine.)

Since 10.3 the framework to link with has been the Accelerate umbrella framework:

cc -faltivec -framework Accelerate

For details, see:
man Accelerate

Risa-

Why bother with ATLAS? The Mac has the ‘veclib framework’ which has the whole of LAPACK and BLAS (and more) optimized for the hardware?

(you link with something like ‘-framework veclib’; not sure about the appropriate include files if you need them)

Have you tried installing the fink package? At least on a G4 there was no problem….
