Putting this back on the tracker, not sure why it was removed.

Something very very strange is happening here. I cannot reproduce this failure
locally in mock.

This is what seems to be happening:

The R-RScaLAPACK package depends on lam-libs (which put their libraries in
%{_libdir}/lam). lam-libs also includes a %{_libdir}/lam/lam.ld.conf which gets
copied to /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ in %post (via alternatives, and ldconfig is run:

%post libs
alternatives --install %{_sysconfdir}/ld.so.conf.d/mpi%{mode}.conf \
                        mpilibs%{mode} %{_libdir}/lam/lam.ld.conf %{priority}
/sbin/ldconfig

Now, with that said, R-RScaLAPACK is somehow finding liblam, but not libmpi,
even though they're in the same package and same directory. The fact that I
cannot reproduce this failure with make mockbuild worries me.

I got this to go through the buildsystem. I have no idea why it wouldn't go
through before. :P

R-RScaLAPACK-0.5.1-11.fc9.2 is in rawhide now.
