so apparently this symbol comes from the f2c library and is used within 
blas/lapack. Did you specify correctly which BLAS should be used when 
building and installing umfpack? BTW, if you have matlab and build the 
umfpack matlab interace which comes along, you could try if umpfack 
itself works from the matlab command-line.
