Actually, David (Cournapeau), I started off by installing your rpms linked at the top of the "Fedora Core 8, openSUSE 10.2, RHEL/Centos 5" section, so you're probably the perfect person to answer this. Should your rpm installation work with ATLAS or do I need to build numpy from source? Are there any instructions for building atlas from the ashigabou repository and then building numpy to use it?

Sure, that's a good call to know about. It looks like it's not using the same setting for library_dirs as what's in my LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
LD_LIBRARY_PATH would need to have been set at build time, not just at run time.
Not exactly: LD_LIBRARY_PATH only change the loader path (that is which shared libraries are loaded when a process is started, as well as dlopen).
AFAIK NumPy will only link ATLAS in statically (I could be wrong about this).
Atlas may be linked dynamically as well.
On debian, ATLAS is packaged such as it also contains a full blas/ lapack library, that is -llapack -lblas will link against ATLAS library. In particular, you can linked against conventional, slow, blas/lapack when building, and switching to a faster, ATLAS-enabled one - but this is debian specific, and not supported out of the box by the ATLAS build system. You can of course emulate what debian does by yourself if you know what you are doing.
cheers,
