This is certainly because of a mismatch the compiler used for numpy and blas/lapack. I checked the rpm you are using, and it looks like whereas blas and lapack are compiled with gfortran, python-numpy is compiled with g77. I do not use opensuse myself, but started a project to provide binaries for numpy/scipy for this distribution: most of the packages like blas and lapack are broken on this platform (I really wonder if there was any testing of those packages by the packagers). The quickest thing would be to install numpy from sources. If you're willing to help, I have some binary for numpy with my own blas/lapack here, which need some feedback (and updating, too) http://software.opensuse.org/download/home:/ashigabou/openSUSE_10.2/ cheers, David
