How/where did you install atlas? Note that 'make install' in ATLAS does
not install the libraries to the system. You have to do that manually,
e.g. copy atlas libraries (the files libf77blas.a,
libcblas.a, liblapack.a, libaltas.a) to /usr/local/lib/atlas.
And make sure that you have applied instructions from

  http://math-atlas.sourceforge.net/errata.html#completelp

before the copy. Without that import scipy will fail.
