You got the same error as before ? The error message is quite
unambiguous: you have somwhere an object file compiled without the
-fPIC flag, and from your build log, it is a LAPACK file. Did you
clean everything before rebuilding, to be sure to start from scratch.

For atlas, it is -C if compiler_name
For LAPACK, you set it in the compilers
For numpy/scipy: python setup.py build --fcompiler=gnu95 will force
gfortran even if g77 is found.

But the problem posted originally is unlikely to be caused by g77/gfortran mix,
