The build system is looking for a LAPACK to link against, but it's
only finding a static library, against which it can't link. LAPACK
isn't built as part of Octave anymore (I can't remember if it ever
was). Building a static binary against LAPACK isn't supported, I don't
think. Looks like you built LAPACK yourself; if so, rebuild it to
provide a shared library.
