Well, the other thing you can try, which I should have mentioned, is RSiteSearch("cannot find lblas-3"), or something like that, or go to http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu. Apparently you aren't the only one to have this particular problem, and the way to a solution is given in several replies to earlier messages in this list. I cannot understand them because they are all specific to Debian. Do you have blas installed? (I can't believe you got very far without it, though.)
