First, as Hamish mentions, the code which uses BLAS/LAPACK isn't
currently used for anything. There is no reason to enable it unless
you intend to write your own code which uses those functions.

That aside, the config.log file contains all commands which are run by
the configure script, along with their output. Any error messages
which are generated by the tests will appear near the end of that
file.
