This time I included both ATLAS and MKL in the site.cfg file and got a little further... D:\temp\numpy-1.2.1\site.cfg now looks like: [atlas] library_dirs = d:\Docs\ATLAS\build\lib atlas_libs = lapack, f77blas, cblas, atlas [mkl] include_dirs = D:\Programs\Intel\MKL\10.1.0.018\include library_dirs = D:\Programs\Intel\MKL\10.1.0.018\ia32\lib mkl_libs = mkl_ia32, mkl_c_dll, libguide40 lapack_libs = mkl_lapack ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOUND a few more things... though still having problems finding blas_opt_info, blas_mkl_info (even though it finds MKL later???) Install log follows... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Running from numpy source directory.
