scipy.basic.linalg is exposed as scipy.linalg via scipy/basic/info.py.
When full scipy is installed, scipy.linalg is reset to scipy.linalg (from 
full scipy):

In [1]: import scipy
Skip importing scipy packages (NO_SCIPY_IMPORT=1)

In [2]: scipy.linalg
Out[2]: <module 'scipy.basic.linalg' from 
'/usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages/scipy/basic/linalg.pyc'>

and

In [1]: import scipy

In [2]: scipy.linalg
Out[2]: <module 'scipy.linalg' from 
'/usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages/scipy/linalg/__init__.pyc'>

after installing full scipy. So, I would expect that you don't have full 
scipy installed..

I have now moved lapack_lite and fftpack_lite to core/scipy/basic, created 
core/scipy/basic/{linalg,fftpack}.py modules and removed old files,
and renamed corelib to lib.

All scipy core and scipy tests pass ok here after these changes.
