If you want to use the methods around approximate vanishing ideals and the numerical Buchberger-Moeller algorithm, you must have several numerical libraries present, namely [http://www.netlib.org/blas/ BLAS] and [http://www.netlib.org/lapack/ LAPACK]. These can be installed most easily via [http://math-atlas.sourceforge.net/ ATLAS] if you are using Linux/Unix or Windows. In case you use Mac OS X there is the accelerate framework which provides you working versions of all libraries needed.
