Can anyone explain how to get numpy to recognize atlas? I have
atlas built and installed, and I put what I thought should be
sufficient, based on numpy's INSTALL.TXT, to make numpy use atlas
in my site.cfg then ran python setup.py install. The resulting
build is incredibly slow. Multiplying a 1,000 x 1,000 matrix takes
8 seconds. The default packages take .8 . On a computer at work
with a similar but slower cpu to mine, it only takes .2, so I know
I should be able to get a lot more speed out of numpy.
This is my site.cfg:
[atlas]
atlas_libs = lapack, f77blas, cblas, atlas
[DEFAULT]
library_dirs = /usr/local/atlas/lib
include_dir = /usr/local/atlas/include
Thanks in advance,
Ian
Ian, it would be very helpful if you could post the output from the
build of numpy. That log can tell us whether it found the libraries
or not when building.

I do not use a 'site.cfg' even though I build my own numpy but use the
standard Fedora (13) packages for atlas. So try it without defining it -
remove the installation and build directories first!
Can you please provide the operating system (including 32bit or 64 bit),
Python version and numpy version?
What is the output of the numpy function 'show_config()'?
I added mine below from a 64-bit linux system so you can see that numpy
is looking in the '/usr/lib64' directory.
