May be this is because it is install-specific. R can either ship / build 
with its own version of LAPACK or use one already installed on the 
system. A proper fix will have to make it work in all situations.

Releasing a source package should be done easily once it builds.
Windows binaries are a different matter and will have to be contributed 
(and building / running under Windows with recent R will require fixes 
to the binary path).
