On mandriva 2005LE there is a similar problem when I run scipy.test(level=1)

it gives a lo of line with the problem "undefined symbol: srotmg_" like this 
one :

import signal -> 
failed: /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/scipy/linalg/fblas.so: undefined 
symbol: srotmg_

and then there is a warning :

WARNING: clapack module is empty


If I refer to old mail of scipy-user mailing list :
http://www.scipy.net/pipermail/scipy-user/2002-June/000447.html

the solution was already given there :

"Yes, srotmg_ is missing in the BLAS libraries that are included in LAPACK.
You have to download http://netlib2.cs.utk.edu/blas/blas.tgz and rebuild
BLAS to fix it."

Question 1:
only blas.tgz is needed?
Question 2:
is it better to use the cblas.tgz in order to have coherent *.c and *.f files?
Question 3:
the solution is to replace all *.f and .c files and then build?
Question 4:
what is the license of blas.tgz and cblas.tgz?

The problem is still there in mandriva 2005! It is a pity that the problem was 
not resolved so that the distribution chip the complete version. 

I hope it is not to much out of the subject but I'd like to know if mandriva 
is now a exception and other distribution ship the "complete" version?
