It only happens because debian put the CBLAS interface into libblas.*. Normally, it is not there, and numpy depends on cblas for _dotblas. The way it should work is to test for cblas instead of atlas (atlas always have cblas), but that requires work that nobody has done so far. And this reconcile your answer and Robert's one :) cheers, David _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
