This can be perfectly normal. The .la files are not necessary.

So you now do actually have everything you should need. Strange. If
-lnuma still isn't found, /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu is not in your
standard search path (which would be odd, but possible. Do you by any
chance try this on a multi-arch installation with i386 being the default
(so that the numa library that is x86_64 cannot be linked, and you would
need to install the corresponding i386 library instead - not that I
would suggest that).

True. From the configuration script and the absence of the .la file I
would think it needs to be something else than that.

On a single machine (like a workstation or laptop), I found that _not_
using hwloc can actually be an advantage anyway in some circumstances
(multiple MPI jobs _not_ all tied to the first core).
