Unfortunately the choice of blas can be very confusing. You
should look for packages with "gf" in the name (gf -> gfortran).
Otherwise you're liable to get a blas which depends on the older
GNU fortran compiler, g77, and this may well conflict with R.
I don't have access to an ubuntu system at work, but from home I
can check which packages I have installed on ubuntu 8.04.
I have the following blas/lapack packages installed and everything
plays nicely:
libblas3gf 1.2-1.3ubuntu4
libblas-dev 1.2-1.3ubuntu4
liblapack3gf 3.1.1-0.3ubuntu2
liblapack-dev 3.1.1-0.3ubuntu2
