OpenBLAS provides its own LAPACK, which has some optimizations and is
probably more recent than RHEl's -- I haven't checked.  You can just
link against that, and the EPEL OB rpms are recent.

The linear algebra situation in RHEl/Fedora is unfortunate, but you can
hack around linkage with inefficient BLAS/LAPACK
