You should really use a newer version if you install from sources. numpy 1.0.4 is one year and a half old. If you have to use pytyhon 2.3, you should use numpy 1.1.*. If you have python 2.4 or later, you should use numpy 1.3.0. > > I had the following error : > > / import numpy > File "../numpy/lib64/python2.3/site-packages/numpy/__init__.py", > line 43, in ? > File > "../numpy/lib64/python2.3/site-packages/numpy/linalg/__init__.py", > line 4, in ? > File > "../numpy/lib64/python2.3/site-packages/numpy/linalg/linalg.py", line > 25, in ? > ImportError: liblapack.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such > file or directory > / What does ldd ../numpy/lib64/python2.3/site-packages/numpy/linalg/lapack_lite.so say ? > So is there a solution to use numpy 64 bits version with a > /usr/*lib*/liblapack.so.3 or is it absolutly necessary to install > lapack 64 bits version ? It is certainly mandatory to have a 64 bits version of lapack when building numpy for a 64 bits python, but it does not have to be in /usr/lib64. You can also build numpy without lapack: LAPACK=None python setup.py .... cheers, David _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
