The failures seem to be related to the long double not conforming to IEEE754 standard on linux ppc. I am not sure how to deal with them - maybe raising a warning if the user uses long double, as its usage will always be flaky on that platform anyway (numpy assumes IEEE 754-like support) David _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
