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

Hi,

I used site.cfg. I also tried the ATLAS variable, but obviously I didn't 
specify the right directory.

And this works!

Here was the relevant part of site.cfg:

[DEFAULT]
library_dirs = /u/formes/share/lib/i686-Linux-2.4.9-13/:/usr/lib
include_dirs = /u/formes/share/include/:/usr/include

[atlas]
library_dirs = /u/formes/share/lib/i686-Linux-2.4.9-13/atlas/
include_dirs = /u/formes/share/include/ATLAS/

I had also tried several variations, but without success.

After the compilation succeeded I still got the 'no fastumath error', which 
was fixed by running setup_scipy_base.py.

Thank you very much!
