Since this issue was mentioned when I suggested that nix gives one (relatively easy) approach to this kind of issue I should mention here that this can be done in nix via the command (though I don't recommend global installs like this):

Alternatively one can create a fresh shell environment where each of these packages are installed (but not installed globally) via:

nix-shell --packages graphviz liblapack gmp gcc

This might be useful knowledge for quick testing purposes to create an environment with these installed.
