The problem isn't with COIN.
It's with the nonstandard library names
that come with some versions of lapack.
The warning should go something like this:
Some versions of lapack come with libraries with nonstandard names.
Libraries whose names do not begin with lib
cannot be found with any linker's -l flag.
Such libraries have to be included explicitly.
