                                                                  ^^^^^^^^^

This is your problem.  The libf77blas.a which is being accessed is the 
one in the RedHat lapack RPM instead of the one for ATLAS.  You'll have 
to uninstall it:

rpm -e lapack octave

since, if I recall, octave depends on lapack.
