Do 'dpkg -l | grep lapack' and make sure you see liblapack-dev as installed.

Also do 'ldd /usr/lib/R/bin/exec/R' and make sure you do _not_ have a depends
on Rlapack.so.  There was an important change in the Fortran compiler a while
back; I no longer anything as ancient as Ubuntu 8.04.  It may still date back
to those days...
