Hi,
Several people reported problems with numpy 1.0.4 (See #627 and #628, but also other problems mentionned on the ML, which I cannot find). They were all solved, as far as I know, by a binary I produced (simply using mingw + netlib BLAS/LAPACK, no ATLAS). Maybe it would be good to use those instead ? (I can recompile them if there is a special thing to do to build them)
Do I understand correctly that you are suggesting removing ATLAS from the Windows distribution? Wouldn't this make numpy very slow? I know on RHEL5 I see a very large improvement between the basic BLAS/LAPACK and ATLAS. Perhaps we should make an alternative Windows binary available without ATLAS just for those having problems with ATLAS?
