FYI, atlas is found in numpy's system_info.py but I do get the following 
message:

$ python numpy/distutils/system_info.py

The above source will compile if I add -lg2c and -lm to the compilation 
command. Is there a way to add this to the site.cfg so it compiles 
_configtest.c successfully? I'm guessing it is failing because it thinks 
lapack is incomplete.

BTW, the INSTALL.txt mentions doing the following:

5) ATLAS version, the locations of atlas and lapack libraries, building
    information if any. If you have ATLAS version 3.3.6 or newer, then
    give the output of the last command in
    ::

      cd scipy/Lib/linalg
      python setup_atlas_version.py build_ext --inplace --force
      python -c 'import atlas_version'


But it looks to be out-of-date because I don't have a Lib directory in 
<trunk>/scipy/. I found a couple setup_atlas_version.py scripts but they 
don't seem to like the above commands.
