[SciPy-user] atlas troubles during install (yes I know, I am not the first one)

[Kasper Souren]

Hi,

I am trying to install SciPy, but it seems blas is causing troubles:

"""
atlas_info:
  FOUND:
    libraries = ['lapack', 'f77blas', 'cblas', 'atlas']
    library_dirs = ['/u/formes/share/lib/i686-Linux-2.4.9-13/atlas']
    include_dirs = ['/u/formes/share/include/ATLAS']

/u/formes/share/bin/i686-Linux-2.4.9-13/python2.2 
/net/kempul/u.kempul/formes/souren/cvs/scipy/linalg/setup_atlas_version.py 
build_ext --inplace --force
atlas_info:
  NOT AVAILABLE

Traceback (most recent call last):

    Atlas (http://math-atlas.sourceforge.net/) libraries not found.
    Directories to search for the libraries can be specified in the
    scipy_distutils/site.cfg file (section [atlas]) or by setting
    the ATLAS environment variable.
Failed to determine ATLAS version
"""

fftw_info, djbfft_info and x11_info don't cause me troubles. They come up with 
FOUND and it seems okay.

I tried to find a solution with google, but none of the suggestions found 
there seems to apply. ATLAS is nicely installed, and the fact that it first 
finds that setup.py first states that is FOUND, and then causes a problem 
later seems rather strange to me.

bye,
Kasper
