Seems like ATLAS is not discovered properly. What is the output of

  python scipy_distutils/system_info.py

? What ATLAS you are using?

Note that the latest SciPy CVS tree requires also the latest unstable 
version of ATLAS (>3.3.14) because linalg2 is being merged into the SciPy
installation tree right now and linalg2 wraps some routines that are
not present in the current stable ATLAS release. 
The instructions in PerezCVSBuild.htm should be updated accordingly.
