Chuck, I will be willing to help here.

Generally when you see this error message, it means that some of the code is getting compiled in 64-bit mode (using the -64 option) and some is being compiled in 32-bit mode (using -32 or -n32). You can't mix these two. This can also happen, I think, if compilers are mixed. That is, if you try to use "cc -64" for some code, and then "gcc" for other code, as the "gcc" compiler doesn't recognize the -64 or -n32 options.
I believe the options are -m32 and -m64. Do gcc -v to see what the target is. Can I build NumPy a certain way for you that might give you
more debug information to go on?
I'm waiting for one of the build gurus to check in, it's not my area of expertise. Are the 32 and 64 bit libraries in IRIX put in different places? On linux, for instance, the (non-debian) standard is 32 bit in the usual location, 64 bit in lib64. You can control where numpy looks for libraries by editing the site.cfg file at the top of the numpy directory. Chuck
