Are you sure it is libcblas.so that's presenting problems and not
libf77blas.so?
As far as I can tell:
* On both Solaris and Linux, liblapack.so are *not* generated properly.
* On Linux, libf77blas.so is *not* generated properly. (That's ok on
Solaris)
This makes me question whether we should be generating the shared
libraries at all. If that rather inappropriately named script
'make_correct_shared.sh' does not work, why the hell should we be using it?
Dave
Clearly Wolfram Research see no need to generate the shared libraries. It makes
me wonder if we really need them at all.

Whilst I can't speak for libatlas.so or libcblas.so, it appears Sage works fine
without liblapack.so & libf77blas.so on Linux, and at least without liblapack.so
on Solaris.
*Perhaps* generating the shared libraries libatlas.so or libcblas.so is
worthwhile, but the other two are problematic on Linux and one is problematic on
Solaris.
On OS X, Sage only tries to generate two shared libraries - libatlas.dylib and
libcblas.dylib. No attempt is even made to generate the other two - which
happens to be the two generating problems on Linux.
