Question. How does numpy link against the python library when there is only a static version present? I compiled/installed python2.6.2a and the only library it generated was /usr/local/lib/python2.6/config/libpython2.6.a. Furthermore, I didn't see the python library specifically linked by any of the numpy code. Compare with the python2.5 build:<br>
