Not sure what the problem is in your case, but I had the same error a while back. For some reason, ATLAS thought it should be compiled as 64 bit but numpy as 32 bit. . It went away after I passed the -b 32 flag to configure in ATLAS (I think). Thus that's one thing to check. Also, make sure you're using ATLAS 3.8.x, as I had problems with the 3.9 series (don't know if that would be an issue still). --Hoyt On Sat, Jan 24, 2009 at 8:47 PM, Gideon Simpson <simpson@math.toronto.edu> wrote:
