On my OSX 10.6.8 build of Octave, blas and lapack are provided via the vecLib 
framework which ships with the system and is auto detected by configure.

the outbut of of the configure script says:

BLAS libraries:              -framework vecLib
LAPACK libraries:            

while querying mkoctfile I get 

$ mkoctfile -p BLAS_LIBS
-framework vecLib

$ mkoctfile -p LAPACK_LIBS

$ 

So possibly the problem lies with the fact that both blas and lapack are linked 
using 
one flag only? 


I must admit that this incident is an argument in favor of Jordi's push toward 
better integration of Octave and Octave-Forge ...
