I found out that my problem is related to octave3.0-headers. If I
change /usr/bin/mkoctfile the problem disappear (and the symlinks I
previous made has been removed).

I guess I should report a bug in octave3.0-headers instead, or what?

I'm sorry for the wrong report about lapack+blas.

Patch for mkoctfile applied at the bottom.
