Answer 1

On Ubuntu 14.04 make sure you have the packages

• liblapack-dev
• liblapack3
• libopenblas-base
• libopenblas-dev

installed. After that, "-L/usr/lib -llapack -lblas" should work. Also note that, as already mentioned in another answer, in the output you showed, you have "-L/usr/share/doc/liblacpack -L/usr/share/doc/libblas", which is certainly not what you want.
