I'm trying to install numeric on my MacOS X box using Darwin, with the eventual goal of satisfying all of PyGame's dependencies so I can finally start working on my semester project. I would be using MacPython, except that I can't seem to get its Package Manager to work. Anyway, when I try to install numeric, I get the following error:
[HMC-58-125:~/proj/Numeric-23.7] chriswei% sudo ./setup.py install Password: running install running build running build_py running build_ext building 'lapack_lite' extension gcc -Wl,-F. -Wl,-F. -bundle -framework Python build/temp.darwin-7.6.0- Power_Macintosh-2.3/Src/lapack_litemodule.o build/temp.darwin-7.6.0- Power_Macintosh-2.3/Src/blas_lite.o build/temp.darwin-7.6.0-Power_ Macintosh-2.3/Src/f2c_lite.o build/temp.darwin-7.6.0-Power_Macintosh-2.3/ Src/zlapack_lite.o build/temp.darwin-7.6.0-Power_Macintosh-2.3/Src/ dlapack_lite.o -L/usr/lib/atlas -llapack -lcblas -lf77blas -latlas -lg2c - o build/lib.darwin-7.6.0-Power_Macintosh-2.3/lapack_lite.so -framework vecLib ld: can't locate file for: -llapack error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1 Previously it had been complaining about a missing directory '/usr/lib/ atlas', but I just created that (without any idea what it wanted it for or why it couldn't create it itself, natch). From what I've found online, it's now having problems because a linear algebra module it needs ( lapack) can't be found. However, isn't numeric supposed to have its own "light" linear algebra code? Looking in setup.py, I found the following section: # delete all but the first one in this list if using your own LAPACK/ BLAS sourcelist = [os.path.join('Src', 'lapack_litemodule.c'), # os.path.join('Src', 'blas_lite.c'), # os.path.join('Src', 'f2c_lite.c'), # os.path.join('Src', 'zlapack_lite.c'), # os.path.join('Src', 'dlapack_lite.c') ] ] I tried uncommenting the lines, but no dice. I've also installed the numarray module; it claims to be a descendant of numeric that should be usable for the same thing. If it turns out that I can't use numeric, for whatever reason, does anyone have advice for getting numarray to work with pygame? Thanks for any help you can provide. If I can't get this working soon, I'll have to return to using C++ for this project. I know that at least works. -- "Don't take life so serious, son - it ain't nohow permanent." - Porkypine http://www.cs.hmc.edu/~cweisige -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
