Hm, you are correct. This is not purposeful, but inadvertent. I did not note carefully that the script is being sourced, so that modifications to commonly used environmental variables like BINDIR are retained when the script completes. >I don't know if findutils or lapack is at fault for this conflicting >definition of what $BINDIR represents.

It should use variable names less likely to produce collisions, perhaps prefixed with "LA_", or some similar device. I will fix this in the near future. Thanks for pointing out the issue.
