The NIST's OOF1 application [1] can be configured in preparation for 
compiling under NetBSD/i386 3.99.20 (made from CVS-updated sources 
updated in late May 2006) using this command:

% /usr/bin/time sh -c "../configure --with-x 
--with-cxxflags='-DNEED_FDSTREAM -DDONT_HAVE_STRSTREAM_H -DTHERMAL' 
--with-blas='-L/usr/pkg/lib -lblas -lg2c' > configure.log 2>&1"

libg2c is present and all is well:

% ls -l /usr/lib/libg2c.*
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  319126 May 26  2006 /usr/lib/libg2c.a
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel      13 May 26  2006 /usr/lib/libg2c.so -> 
libg2c.so.2.0
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel      13 May 26  2006 /usr/lib/libg2c.so.2 
-> libg2c.so.2.0
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  122237 May 26  2006 /usr/lib/libg2c.so.2.0
%

However, with NetBSD 4.99.20 (made from CVS-updated sources updated 
in late June 2007):

% ls -l /usr/lib/libg2c.*
ls: No match.
%

and it doesn't seem to be in any other directory so ./configure fails with:

configure: error: *** Supplied blas doesn't link ***

What's the recommended way of getting around this?
