The short answer is read the R-admin.html manual. You need to use f95 to
get the right libraries, and then the configure script automatically uses
sunperf. It won't work with f77 (or g77).
Also, R will not make use of all external LAPACK, because it needs a
bug-fixed LAPACK 3, and there is no way to guarantee that.
