[MOAB-dev] errors during make check

[Charles Henkel]

Followup
I was working on the HEAD because "configure" was failing when I checked out tag 5.5.1. Turns out it was due to an (unmentioned) dependency on liblapack-dev.

When I installed liblapack-dev, the 5.5.1 version compiled and passed all tests.
