I meant the console output, yes, to see which BLAS/LAPACK is detected.

This is indeed suspicious. How did you build your Atlas ? It would be 
useful to have the full build output when building scipy.linalg.

I don't know if this linked to our issue, but this PTATLAS=ATLAS seems a

It is a setting in your email client - are you using email or something
