Problem solved-- This posting is just to complete the thread to document it if others have similar issues.
The previous error: ImportError: liblapack.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory was solved simply by checking that the environment variables were set properly. I set BLAS, LAPACK, and LD_LIBRARY_PATH variables (I'm not sure if the LD one was needed, but this worked) The next issue I ran into was that the error message changed to "undefined symbol _dgesdd", which I googled and discovered was a routine for singular value decomposition that was missing-- meaning that my liblapack.so file was incomplete. I checked this by doing $ strings liblapack.so | grep dgesdd and noticing that the output was blank. The output was not blank however in the lapack _LINUX.a install from the netlib lapack, so that meant that my ATLAS install was incorrect. I changed the way that I specified the configure for ATLAS. I had to use the --with-netlib-lapack option (as stated in one of the installation files) instead of the "-Ss flapack pathname" that is specified in the command line help. Finally, the install worked. -Frank
