thanks I followed your suggestions, it built the package ok, while it was building, I noticed lots of lines going by the screen in groups of different colors, white, yellow, red. the red got my attention:
**************** Could not locate executable gfortran Could not locate executable f95 **************** is there a way to find out if the built is fine and it is using the high performance libraries? thanks -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
