AFAIK four of these are "normal"; I don't see the lu-6 one, though.

I use this for the Debian packages:

# default to blas, atlas can overload where available (see README.Debian)
atlas           = --with-blas=/usr/lib/libblas2.so \
                  --with-lapack=/usr/lib/liblapack2.so
[...]
        ./configure             \
[...]
                  $(atlas)      \
[...]


So you could try to point to them directly. Also, you can "extract" the
relevant code from the configure script and try it directly in a smaller
shell script if you want to accelerate the trial and error process.
