[SciPy-Dev] Error while trying to build scipy: NotFoundError: no lapack/blas resources found

Hi
I am trying to build Scipy package in virtualenv and getting the following
error message:

```
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 467, in <module>
    setup_package()
  File "setup.py", line 463, in setup_package

line 135, in setup
    config = configuration()
  File "setup.py", line 381, in configuration
    config.add_subpackage('scipy')
  File

    caller_level = 2)
  File

  File

    config = setup_module.configuration(*args)
  File "scipy/setup.py", line 15, in configuration
    config.add_subpackage('linalg')

    raise NotFoundError('no lapack/blas resources found')
