There are a few issues with the versioning. There are only the versions GAMESS VERSION = 30 JUN 2023 (R1) and GAMESS VERSION = 30 SEP 2023 (R2). I also think you mixed up the original tarballs. I happen to have gamess-30062023-R1.tar.gz with sha256sum of b52fc872669a14f0f12fc17ae50d313a046c778fc25d3307720745f91e6f397c and gamess-30092023-R2.tar.gz with sha256sum 2b7cf4af17fb2eab5bf3609bf820437728cd36d87f44857dce25bafa9e9622ad.
Could you please double check what you have? You can find the correct version of the tarball you were using in the gamess/source directory like this:

grep "GAMESS VERSION" *
ecp.src:C        -----  GAMESS VERSION OCTOBER 1989.                     -----
fmolib.src: 9000 format(1x,'GAMESS VERSION')
gamess.src:C     ----- PRINT THE GAMESS VERSION BANNER -----
gamess.src:     *     10X,1H*,10X,'GAMESS VERSION = 30 JUN 2023 (R1)',

Or you simply look at the gamess.src file of course.
Either way, please correct that so I could do the testing and upload a test report.
On that note: I had problem with the OpenBLAS-i8 build as quite some LAPACK tests failed on my laptop (11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1185G7 @ 3.00GHz), more than the allowed ones. I will test on a few other machines to see if that is my CPU or a different issue.

[sassy-crick]

As mentioned, I tested OpenBLAS on a few machines: my laptop, our AMD Zen2 and the Intel Platinum 8358 we have. Only in case of the Intel Platinum 8358 all tests passed within the required limits. The test reports, and the log-files of the failed jobs, can be found here. Happy to test more if required.
I remember about beginning this year I was looking into an OpenBLAS-i8 installation as well but I was running into issues, so I ditched that in favour of MKL for the GAMESS-US EasyConfigs I done, again some time ago.

[lexming]

@sassy-crick sorry for the confusion, there was a typo in the version string of v20230930-R2. Fixed in c5fe35b

[sassy-crick]

@lexming Sorry for my confusion as well. I did not realise that one was from 2022.

What would be more interesting is to see why the OpenBLAS installation is failing on the AMD Rome chip. I know that for my laptop I got some issues with that due to the CPU detection.
