A little bit of a guess, but the error is coming from
/usr/lib/atlas/liblapack, which suggests that your system is configured
to find this lapack library. On the other hand, you had to install
liblapack-dev, which if I'm reading the lenny page is installing
/usr/lib/liblapack.so. It also seems that atlas/liblapack.so.3gf is
somehow installed incorrectly, e.g., with a missing dependency on the
corresponding blas library.

So I think you need to clean up your system installation. Also, if R was
installed with, say, the atlas/liblapack (look at R_HOME/etc/Makeconf,
for instance), then you'll need to reinstall R to match the cleaned up
configuration.

Hope that sets you in the right direction.
