You should use nm to check for the symbol in your ATLAS libraries to
see if it's really missing or if numpy just can't find it.

Try

  nm -A  /usr/local/atlas/lib/lib*.so | grep clapack_sgesv

or just

  nm liblapack.so | grep clapack_sgesv

On my machine, this produces

     liblapack.so:000aff88 T clapack_sgesv

The "T"  symbol means it's defined.

If the symbol is defined in your ATLAS libraries, then you should post
your site.cfg from numpy.

If it isn't defined, then you need to rebuild the ATLAS libraries.
