David, I noticed that the libraries that ATLAS builds are not shared objects (e.g., liblapack.a). Should these be shared objects? I see nothing in the ATLAS documentation about building things as shared objects. Wondering if this is why the Numeric install is failing. Daran -- http://mail.pyth

David, One more thing. I checked to see if the SciPy libraries had dependencies on ATLAS. They do not, however, the eigenvector calculation is still much faster than Numeric? This is very strange. Daran -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Hi David, Yes, when Numeric compiles it does look like the linking is being done properly. I captured the build to a file and see a few lines similar to: gcc -pthread -shared build/temp.linux-i686-2.4/Src/lapack_litemodule.o -L/d2/lib/atlas -llapack -lptcblas -lptf77blas -latlas -lg2c -o build/l

Hi John, I do have more than one version of Python laying around. To do the build and install I am typing: /d2/python/bin/python setup.by build > &! build.out /d2/python/bin/python setup.by install > &! install.out Should I be doing something different? Daran -- http://mail.python.org/mailman
