Created attachment 373318 [details] build log from emerge site.cfg for some reason had the line blas_libs = mkl_rt, mkl_rt Once I removed the duplicate, setup.py no longer complained about not being able to find BLAS.

could you try to re-sync and re-emerge? you might have hit bug #504618
Just tried syncing and re-emerging numpy and then scipy, and I get the same problem. Though I want to clarify, there is no space in "mkl_rt,mkl_rt". Not sure if that is indicative of a different bug.
both numpy and scipy should work. re-sync and re-emerge. if it still does not work, please provide: eselect <lib> show pkg-config --libs <lib> where <lib> is blas, cblas and lapack. + 25 Mar 2014; Sébastien Fabbro <bicatali@gentoo.org> numpy-1.8.0-r1.ebuild: + More fixes to the site.cfg file generation + + 25 Mar 2014; Sébastien Fabbro <bicatali@gentoo.org> scipy-0.13.3.ebuild: + More fixes to the site.cfg file generation +
That worked. Thanks so much!!
