technically, this is not a CPMD issue, so it might
be useful, if you can verify that your installation
works on something simpler than CPMD.
did you try to compile other codes/examples, that use 
BLAS/LAPACK? e.g., the ones shipped with MKL?

what version of ifort do you have installed?
intel has a history of shipping not always well
working versions of their compilers with the 
initial releases. only after a few patch releases
later, you get a reliable compiler. so it might
be worth checking, how up-to-date your installation is.

e.g. mkl is at least at version 8.1 now, IIRC.

cheers,

with installation problems like this, it may be 
worth checking with your local system administrator
on how you are supposed to use libraries and compilers.
it may not always be correct (linux machines are very
configurable and what works on one installation may
fail on another), but a starting point.
