If you just installed numpy, locate won't find them as locate uses a
database which is usually updated once in a while.

Depending on how you installed numpy, you will find lapack_lite.so in
/usr, $HOME/.local or somewhere else (and also in the build directory
in the numpy source tree).

_dotblas.so may not be present, but numpy cannot work without a lapack_lite.so.

cheers,
