Since no one seems to have taken ownership of the issue submitted on GitHub I suggest that you should contact PacBio tech support directly to see if they have a solution.

I have been struggling with BLASR for days as well. But using (bio)conda is painless.

conda install -c bioconda blasr

I absolutely recommend conda for all your bioinformatics software needs.
