[Pysparse-users] Trouble finding the correct ATLAS LAPACK libraries with pysparse 1.2a1

[Eddie S. <e-s...@no...>]

I'm trying to install pysparse on a Linux cluster with ATLAS 3.8.3 (which
was built with full LAPACK support).  ATLAS is located at
/software/ATLAS/3.8.3
and I'm using Python2.6.4 which is located in the nonstandard location
/home/ejs698/software (which is at the beginning of my PATH and PYTHONPATH).

I've modified the setup.py file to include the appropriate (I think) library
directories:

library_dirs_list=
['/software/ATLAS/3.8.3/lib/','/home/ejs698/software/lib/','/usr/bin/lib/']
libraries_list = ['f77blas', 'cblas', 'atlas', 'lapack', 'gfortran']

I also have the environment variables:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/opt/moab/lib:/opt/torque/lib::/software/ATLAS/3.8.3/lib:/home/ejs698/software/lib
ATLAS  /software/ATLAS/3.8.3  (this was necessary for getting numpy built
against the correct ATLAS libraries)

I don't see errors when I run python setup.py install, or when I try
     from pysparse import *
However, if I attempt to run any of the tests in the Examples directory, I
get:

[ejs698@quser04 Examples]$ python jdsym_test.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "jdsym_test.py", line 1, in <module>
    from pysparse import spmatrix, jdsym, itsolvers
ImportError: /software/ATLAS/lib/liblapack.so: cannot open shared object
file: No such file or directory

This seems to indicate that pysparse is looking in the wrong place for the
lapack libraries (the correct location is
/software/ATLAS/3.8.3/lib/liblapack.so).  Have I missed some environment
variable or setting in the setup.py to properly specify these library
locations?

Any suggestions are appreciated,  and thanks in advance,
