Thanks Ralf
I am installing OpenBLAS because I need LAPACKE libraries which I cannot find
on the current version of OpenBLAS on CRAN.
I add the libraries directory in my package to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH. Is this
enough for the system to use my OpenBLAS library?
Thanks
Sameh

implementation of LAPACKE library. Thus, I have modified my configure file to
install a standalone OpenBLAS library to use it.

This looks as if you are building OpenBLAS as a /dynamic/ library
installed in your package directory. This cannot work since the
run-time linker will not search your package directory for dynamic
libraries. You could build OpenBLAS as a /static/ library instead.
However, I am unsure why you want to build OpenBLAS in the first
place, since any R package can reliably link with the BLAS and LAPACK
versions used by R. See WRE on Makevars, BLAS_LIBS etc. for details.
