Did you remove build directory before reinstalling scipy?
If not then do that and rerun scipy build/install commands.

Sometimes building ATLAS yourself or using prebuilt ATLAS libraries from

  http://www.scipy.org/download/atlasbinaries/

is easier than trying to use system provided ATLAS, especially when the 
system is oldish and you don't have enough permissions to fix the system.
