The configure will test if the file ${blas_prefix}/lib/libblas.a does
exist. Then you have to append to the --with-blas-prefix argument the
path on your disk where to find the libblas.a library given by Intel
(minus the /lib/ directory).

If this file is found, it will append "-L${blas_prefix}/lib -lblas" when
linking.

It is the same for lapack.

This may help you to solve the problem of linking against the Intel mkl
library.

Best regards,

Damien.
