Dear Mike,

thanks for your comment.
I got it working now, using:

./configure LIBDIRS="/gpfs/usrurz/lapack/lapack-3.2.1 
/gpfs/usrurz/lib64" FC=xlf2003_r FCFLAGS="-qfree=f90 -C -g -qnosmp" 
MPIF90=mpfort LAPACK_LIBS="-L/gpfs/usrurz/lib64 -llapack"

However, I'm not quite sure on the meaning of all these parameters :-(.
I'm still wondering, wether the following lines are reasonable:
-----------------------------
The following libraries have been found:
   BLAS_LIBS=
   LAPACK_LIBS=-L/gpfs/usrurz/lib64 -llapack 
/gpfs/home/aasfu/espresso-4.3.1/lapack-3.2/lapack.a
   FFT_LIBS=-lessl
   MASS_LIBS= -lmassvp4_64 -lmass_64
--------------------------------

Woudn't the LAPACK_LIBS mean, that the quantum-espresso version 
overrides all commands/functions of the /gpfs/usrurz/lib64/llapack.a ?
Or is the priority the other way round?

Also I wonder, why BLAS_LIBS is empty - is it, because BLAS is included 
in LAPACK?

Thank you,
Guntram
