+The arpack-devel package distributed with CentOS 7 (arpack-devel-3.1.3-2.el7.x86_64) seems a bit old, as routine "seupdate" seems not recognized during
+the "configure" step. This can be solved by installing arpack from github:
+    git clone git@github.com:opencollab/arpack-ng.git
+    cd arpack-ng
+    ./bootstrap
+    ./configure --prefix="some local prefix"
+    make; make install
+Current release as of Aug. 20th 2018 seems to compile OK with CentOS blas-devel
