See

  http://www.scipy.org/site_content/mailman?fn=scipy-user/2002-October/000802.html

for how scipy finds ATLAS libraries. If that is not helpful then provide
more details about your setup. The output of

  python scipy_distutils/system_info.py

and the exact location of ATLAS libraries and its content would be most
important for further help.
