This wasn't obvious to me either.
To use your own blas/lapck in scipy, you need to put a site.cfg file
in the distutils directory of your numpy installation.
So if you installed numpy with --home=$HOME
it should produce a distutils directory at $HOME/lib/python/numpy/
distutils or $HOME/lib64/python/numpy/distutils
If you want to build scipy with the same site.cfg as you used to
build numpy, then, assuming the root source numpy directory is $PYSRC/
numpy
cp $PYSRC/numpy/numpy/distutils/site.cfg $HOME/lib[64]/python/numpy/
distutils
Hope this helps.
George.
