Don't worry about those. numpy does not require a Fortran compiler to build. Some projects using numpy.distutils, like scipy, will. The information flow in distutils is not ideal, so the checks are done regardless of whether you need Fortran or not. > is there a way to find out if the built is fine and it is using the > high performance libraries? You can use the ldd(1) program on the extension modules (they're the ones with the .so extension) to see what libraries they link against.
