My IT people have set up a Kubuntu box with an RWkard front end. I have OpenBLAS set up as a shared BLAS but I'm not sure how to get R to see it. A.3.1 of the installation docs talks about it but I'm not clear if I need a option on my startup line or if I need to find a config file. The BLAS is is in: /usr/lib/openblas-base on my machine. Recommendations?

AFAIK OpenBLAS is a version of the Goto BLAS, so the comments about that apply. You should be able to link it as a shared BLAS. It is not a configurable option when running R, nor do you need to re-configure R.
