I have built NumPy 1.1.0 on RedHat Enterprise 3 (Linux 2.4.21
with gcc 3.2.3 and glibc 2.3.2) and Python 2.5.1. When I run
numpy.test() I get a core dump, as follows. I haven't noticed
any special errors during the build. Should I post the entire
terminal output from "python setup.py install"? Maybe as an
attachment? Let me know if I can provide any more info.

Thanks a lot,

James.

Are you using ATLAS? If so, where did you get it and what cpu do you have?
