I'm not really an expert on BLAS-y things, but wouldn't there be more problems upstream with R if it weren't able to find the local BLAS? I was under the impression that R shipped it's own BLAS but could also be directed to one at compile time -- either way, I would guess that many other would break if the whole BLAS went missing for whatever reason.
to Sven: Did you use a repository build or compile it yourself? And did you touch the BLAS or R's linker flags?
