This looks like numpy.distutils has found ATLAS's FORTRAN BLAS library but not
its libcblas library. Do you have a correct site.cfg file? From Chris Hanley's
earlier post, it looks like the tarball on the SF site mistakenly includes a
site.cfg. Delete it or correct it.

This usually comes from having an LDFLAGS environment variable defined. It
overwrites the linker information.
