For numpy you only need to use the pre-built ATLAS libraries (see scipy
installation document) on windows 32-bit (for 64-bit, you will need the
proprietary MKL to build atlas), and build atlas yourself on linux. In both
cases, setup.cfg has to be modified to point to these ATLAS libraries. ATLAS
will be statically linked.
As another tack, I tried, as I'm on Ubuntu 8.04LTS:
sudo apt-get build-dep python-numpy
bin/easy_install bin/easy_install numpy
...which left me with:
Installed .../lib/python2.5/site-packages/numpy-1.4.1-py2.5-linux-x86_64.egg

Any idea what those weird atexit handlers are supposed to do?!

PS: I would ask on the numpy or scipy mailing list if I could ever
succeed in joining them...
