Correct way to point to ATLAS/BLAS/LAPACK libraries for numpy build?

问题

I'm building numpy from source on CentOS 6.5 with no root access (python -V=2.7.6). I have the latest numpy source from git. I cannot for the life of me get numpy to acknowledge atlas libs. I have:

ls -1 /usr/lib64/atlas

libatlas.so.3
libatlas.so.3.0
libcblas.so.3
libcblas.so.3.0
libclapack.so.3
libclapack.so.3.0
libf77blas.so.3
libf77blas.so.3.0
liblapack.so.3
liblapack.so.3.0
libptcblas.so.3
libptcblas.so.3.0
libptf77blas.so.3
libptf77blas.so.3.0

I don't know anything about how these libs came about, but I can only assume that the atlas builds would be faster than any standard BLAS/LAPACK builds I could make.

What is the correct way to point numpy to these libraries? Do I export ATLAS, BLAS, LAPACK=... setting each to its corresponding path? or do I edit a site.cfg file to contain something like:

[default]
library_dirs = /usr/lib64/atlas

[atlas]
library_dirs = /usr/lib64/atlas
atlas_libs = lapack, cblas, f77blas, atlas

I've tried just about every variation of the above, and each time I run python setup.py config it tells me each library cannot be found in the paths I specify as well as a bunch of other default search paths. I've pasted the results of running python setup.py config with the site.cfg as above and no environment variables set here: http://pastebin.com/EL9CfaR7. Any help is appreciated.

Ok this was pretty simple and essentially follows the install guidelines exactly. I suppose this is more of a question on the numberings after shared libs than about numpy or atlas. Anyway, I just had to create some symlinks:

ln -s /usr/lib64/atlas/___.so.3.0 $HOME/local/lib/___.so

Then removed all configs in the site.cfg and updated my .bashrc:

export ATLAS=$HOME/local/lib/libatlas.so
export BLAS=$HOME/local/lib/libptf77blas.so
export LAPACK=$HOME/local/lib/liblapack.so

After running python setup.py install, I'm good:

>>> import numpy.distutils.system_info as si
>>> si.get_info('atlas')
