Right... So I was able to get everything working finally. I am not 100% sure how or why it works though so I am going to outline what I did here for reference.
I first tried just using LAPACK 3.1.1 (since it seemed set up for g77 instead of gfortran which I do not have). I compiled this to yield the associated lapack and blas libraries using the fortran compiler settings detailed on the scipy install web page. This actually gave me a numpy with the same problems (hanging on numpy.test()). Thus I realized the problem was LAPACK and not with ATLAS. Eventually I got numpy with LAPACK to work when I used the default settings in the example config file of LAPACK instead of using the suggested settings on the numpy web site. I then compiled ATLAS and this worked as well. It still seems a little bit weird that these settings can break the software though. Thanks for the suggestions and I hope this helps someone. Jonathan.
