Hello: I'm hoping someone can straighten me out. I have a 64 bit fedora 8 quad core machine and can install blas and lapack from the yum repository. With these, numpy installs fine and finds blas and lapack.
I also tried removing the yum blas/lapack libs and installing atlas via the instructions given on the scipy site for Ashigabou Repository. Atlas built fine from source and after installing the new rpm there were two files in the lib64/atlas/sse2 folder: libblas.so.3.0 and liblapack.so.3.0. However, when I try to install numpy, it cannot find any blas, lapack, or atlas, even though my site.cfg file has: [DEFAULT] library_dirs = /usr/lib64:/usr/lib64/atlas/sse2 [blas_opt] libraries = f77blas, cblas, atlas [lapack_opt] libraries = lapack, f77blas, cblas, atlas [atlas] library_dirs = /usr/lib64/atlas/sse2 atlas_libs = lapack, blas Using LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib64/atlas/sse2 before installing numpy does not make a difference. My questions are, are the yum versions of lapack/blas just as good as the one built from Ashigabou source, and if not, why would numpy not be able to find the Ashigabou blas and lapack files (even though its looking in the right directory)? Thanks. _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list [email protected] http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
