How active is the project?  The second sentence in the above page is:

"This product is no longer under active development by TACC, but it is 
being made available to the community to use, study, and extend."

.....
It is active, but there is now a gotoblas2 which is active as far as I
know:

tree because TACC didn't want us to redistribute them anymore.

The next thing to check is whether it provides both cblas and f77blas.
Version 1 only provided f77blas and we need cblas as well.
