Dear all,
I need to use functions in scipy which depend on having a complete
lapack library. However, I am having a bit of trouble installing
numpy and referencing a complete lapack library that I built. I
have a few questions that I am hoping someone can help me answer:
1) This machine is a cluster, so do I need to be sure that the lapack
library is a .so file? (I think only if I want the processors to
access the file at the same time, which is my need...) If so, how do I
make a shared library file?
2) If I can tell numpy to use some default version of lapack, will it be a complete version?
3) I was unable to getting numpy installed by referencing the lapack.a
library from the site.cfg file. I also tried to set the LAPACK
environment variable in my .bashrc file, but this did not seem to work
either. The problem is that when I configure numpy, it just does
not recognize this file as a lapack library. It ignores it and
tries to use an lapack lite library located somewhere else (which
doesn't even work anyway).
Any ideas? suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
Frank
