Even a noob can follow simple instructions. :) Tried gnu95 first and then gfortran but both result in the same error. > > Unfortunately there is no EPD installer for Centos 5 version.

I can't open rpm files so I opened numpy with archive manager and extracted Numpy to site-packages. Unfortunately importing numpy results in ImportError: .... undefined symbol: _PyUnicodeUCS4_IsWhitespace. Suggested solution found in wiki is to hard-install numpy. Aaaaah ... it is like running in circles. Is it possible to use refblas and lapack libraries in the ashigabou rep. to hard-install numpy. Not sure what the site.cfg should look like than. _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list [email protected] http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
