That being said, I just had my first system where Numpy failed to build. It's on a redhat 7.3 (yes, we have a 7.3 box. I didn't believe it either. not my decision.) and I get the following error when trying to run Numpy:
This usually means that you are not linking in the g2c library.
On Redhat 7.3, I don't believe there was a g2c library, but an f2c one. So -lf2c is needed at the link step (and f2c needs to be installed).
Well, there's libf2c which is a library provided by f2c, a program that converts FORTRAN to C. And then there's libg2c which is provided by g77. They really are different and, I don't think, interchangeable. Note that libg2c will be stuck several ellipses down in the bowels of /usr/lib/gcc/.../.../libg2c.a not up in /usr/lib/. -- Robert Kern robert.kern@gmail.com "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco
