Thanks for the information. We should concentrate to the following error
in system_info.py output:

blas_opt_info:
running build_src
building extension "atlas_version" sources
  adding 'build/src/atlas_version_0x8bd9e760.c' to sources.
running build_ext

customize UnixCCompiler using build_ext
Command: /home/giovanni/bin/bin/python -c "import
imp;imp.load_dynamic(\"atlas_version\",\"atlas_version.so\")"

ImportError: libatlas.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file 
or directory

Where is this file libatlas.so.2 in your system? You may need to add
its directory path to /etc/ld.so.conf file (and run ldconfig). Since
you don't have root access then add the directory path to

  LD_LIBRARY_PATH

environment variable and see if atlas_version works then.

That is ok. build_flib.py is not existing anymore, its functionality has 
been replaced by *fcompiler.py files.
