do it. Note that for ranlib, the header files are actually installed as Numeric/ranlib.h, but as far as I know it is not possible to link a C extension module to Numerical Python's ranlib at the C level. So I would welcome what Ralf is suggesting.
That's not possible in a portable way, right.
I'm not sure why that wouldn't be portable, since we wouldn't be distributing binaries. The idea is that both a ranlib/blas/lapack library and the extension module is compiled when installing Numerical Python, installing the library in /usr/local/lib/python2.4/Numeric (and the module as usual in /usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/Numeric). Extension modules that what to use ranlib/blas/lapack at the C level can then use the include file from /usr/local/include/python2.4/Numeric and link to the library in /usr/local/lib/python2.4/Numeric. Well maybe I'm missing something basic here ... --Michiel.
