If you just installed numpy, locate won't find them as locate uses a database which is usually updated once in a while.
Depending on how you installed numpy, you will find lapack_lite.so in /usr, $HOME/.local or somewhere else (and also in the build directory in the numpy source tree).
Here's one way to find where numpy is installed: $ python
import numpy numpy
So on my computer numpy is installed in /usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages
_dotblas.so may not be present, but numpy cannot work without a lapack_lite.so.
