I need to distribute matplotlib as part of a large and somewhat
heterogeneous package of Python-based software. On Macs, lapack is
installed by default, and I can rely on the linking working regardless of
which OS version it was compiled on (we use 10.4.11, but it runs fine on
10.5). On Linux, it's variable - the kernel 2.6-based OSes we use appear to
have it, but not the older 2.4-based systems. For the older systems this is
not a problem - it results in this:
n...@linux2.4> ldd lapack_lite.so
linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0xf7d97000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x56555000)
The lack of links to the full lapack module doesn't appear to break anything
that I do - I'm just plotting simple lines and I don't use any of the numpy
routines in my code.
This is what happens on the newer systems:
n...@linux2.6> ldd lapack_lite.so
linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000)
liblapack.so.3 => not found
libblas.so.3 => not found
libg2c.so.0 => /usr/lib/libg2c.so.0 (0xf7fb6000)
libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0xf7f8f000)
libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0xf7f82000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0xf7e45000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x56555000)
This results in an import error on systems that *don't* have lapack3
installed. We would prefer to avoid having to tell our users to install
more software in order to use what I've written. Is there any way to force
numpy to *not* link to anything besides what it saw in the first example? I
would prefer to avoid hacking into the numpy distutils scripts if possible.
Sorry this isn't directly matplotlib-related, but I thought I'd see if
someone here had encountered this problem before I subscribed to another
list.
thanks,
Nat
