[SciPy-User] BLAS libraries not found (Windows)

[klo uo]

I guess you need lapack and then set correct paths in site.cfg file. Even
more if you like to build under MinGW you can use Atlas with lapack for
additional speedup. If you are interested in this path let me know I'll
point you to Atlas project that compiles under MinGW.

But you can of course download and install ready made Scipy without all
this trouble and you can even find prebuild windows SciPy packages compiled
with MKL kindly provided here:
