Your Linux distribution has a static Lapack library that you can't use for R because it wasn't compiled into "position-independent" code. That's a standard Lapack build, but won't work to make a dynamically loadable library. That's why the second attempt doesn't build.
I'm not sure I can help further without knowing a little more. The first thing I would do, though, is to try a plain build without install and see what's happening. If it's the same behavior, you might try checking how R (the script that starts the executable) sets up the environment, particularly LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Does lapack.so get built? How? Do you have a BLAS on your system, or does it use R's? The output of configure would help to see what's being picked up. (I don't have a 64 bit machine handy so I can't go out and try any of these right now...)
