[SciPy-user] BVP

[lorenzo bolla]

Hi all!

Is there any package to solve Boundary Value Problems with Scipy? I'm
thinking to something like Matlab's bvp4c.
I found this, by Pauli Virtanen:
http://www.elisanet.fi/ptvirtan/software/bvp/index.html, which is a wrapper
to COLNEW, but it fails to compile/install.
Here is the installation error:

----------------------
$> python setup.py install

setup.py:17: UserWarning:
    Atlas (http://math-atlas.sourceforge.net/) libraries not found.
    Directories to search for the libraries can be specified in the
    numpy/distutils/site.cfg file (section [atlas]) or by setting
    the ATLAS environment variable.
  warnings.warn(AtlasNotFoundError.__doc__)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 63, in <module>
    setup(**configuration(top_path='').todict())
  File "setup.py", line 24, in configuration
    info = __import__('bvp/info')
ImportError: No module named bvp/info

----------------------

It looks like a problem with bvp/info, so I get rid of that instruction, but
I have a compilation problem:

----------------------

$ python setup.py
install
setup.py:17:

Any hints?
Thank you very much!!
