Yeah, this is the problem in the case of a Debian system. liblapack.a is in
/usr/lib/3dnow/atlas, and the rest of the libraries are in /usr/lib/3dnow.
After doing a symbolic link from /usr/lib/3dnow/liblapack.a to
/usr/lib/3dnow/atlas/liblapack.a, scipy detects the libraries and everything
goes smoothly:

>>> import scipy
>>> scipy.test(10)
.
<stuff skipped>
.
function f6

cc.bisect : 1.080
cc.ridder : 1.250
cc.brenth : 1.200
cc.brentq : 1.130

OK

So, it seems to be a problem with the atlas3.4.1_Linux_ATHLON.tar.gz from
the http://math-atlas.sourceforge.net site. Do you think this is a bug on
the ATLAS binary libraries side?

Thanks for the help!
