Octave can't find BLAS or LAPACK

Hello,

I am attempting to build a recent version of octave as a 32--bit i686
package for RHEL 7. I have installed the BLAS and LAPACK packages but
./configure does not detect the libraries. I have the 32 bit packages
including the -devel packages installed as seen below:

I have also tried passing the library paths in ./configure option as:
./configure  --prefix=/home/jferreira/builds/octaveCompile
--with-blas=/usr/lib/libblas.so --with-lapack=/usr/lib/liblapack.so

I still get: configure: error: BLAS and LAPACK libraries are required.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you,
John Ferreira
