/usr/bin/ld: error: cannot find -lopenblas

Just needed to remove openblas from library_dirs and add , '-L/opt/OpenBLAS/lib' to extra_link_args. Here's the whole working file.

from distutils.core import setup, Extension
import numpy
import os.path as path

module1 = Extension("overfeat",
                    include_dirs = ['../../src', numpy.get_include()],
                    library_dirs = ['../../src'],
                    libraries = ['TH', 'overfeat'],
                    sources = ['overfeatmodule.cpp'],
                    extra_compile_args=['-fopenmp'],
                    extra_link_args=['-lgomp', '-l%s'%(path.abspath('../../src/libTH.a')), '-L/opt/OpenBLAS/lib'])

setup(name = 'overfeat',
      version = '1.0',
      description = 'Python bindings for overfeat',
      ext_modules = [module1],
      install_requires = ['numpy'])

Another option to fix this: run ld -lopenblas --verbose to see where it's looking for the .so file. Then find where yours is installed (via locate or find or something), and link it using ln -s <where the actual file is located> <where it's looking for it>.
