+Known problem on Ubuntu 12.04 32-bit (i486)
+...........................................
+
+With Ubuntu 12.04 running on 32-bit Intel architecture processors the following
+error has been observed when running the tests included with kwant: "Arrays are
+not almost equal to 7 decimals".  That problem seems to be due to a bug in the
+OpenBLAS package included with that version of Ubuntu.  It can be worked-around
+by installing a different BLAS.  Execute the following shell commands::
+
+    sudo apt-get install libblas3gf
+    sudo update-alternatives --config libblas.so.3gf
+
+and select the "libblas.so.3gf" alternative when prompted by the second command.
