Hmm, how did you exactly tried to build/install scipy? It looks like
atlas_version.c (and may be other source files as well) is installed to
/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/scipy/linalg but it shouldn't.
Btw, could you translate the error message "Aucunfichier ou r?pertoire de
ce type"?

See above.

Are you sure that you are using the latest CVS version of Scipy?
Also, if you have earlier (say, 2-6 months ago) tried to build scipy
then remove the following files from linalg/ directory (that probably
contain the missing `min` symbol that you reported earlier):

  cblas.pyf flapack.pyf clapack.pyf fblas.pyf

and rebuild scipy from scratch, that is, remove the build/ directory as
well all scipy related directories from
/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/ before hitting

  python setup.py install

in scipy local CVS directory.
