Thanks for the information. The reason for this problem should be looked 
at your note:
"""
[alted at api linalg]$      python -c 'import atlas_version'
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<string>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: ./atlas_version.so: undefined symbol: ATL_buildinfo

This does not seem to work, but my ATLAS version is 3.6.0. I've also read
http://math-atlas.sourceforge.net/errata.html#completelp in order to get
complete LAPACK support.
"""

Where your ATLAS-3.6.0 libraries are located? Did you use ATLAS 
environment variable to specify the location?

scipy_distutils seems to  find only ATLAS-3.2.1 or ATLAS-pre3.3.6 
libraries in  /users/exp/alted/bin-i686/lib/atlas/.
The fact that using ATLAS-3.2.1_pre3.3.6 libraries fail with the 
"undefined symbol: ATL_buildinfo" message indicates some bug in scipy (I 
can reproduce it, so I'll fix it).
