Hello there, I'm new here, so excuse me if the solution is trivial: i have installed ATLAS and LAPACK on my ubuntu 7 dual core intel machine. now, when i try to install numpy, it tells me it doesn't find these libraries: " $ python setup.py install Running from numpy source directory. F2PY Version 2_3816 blas_opt_info: blas_mkl_info: libraries mkl,vml,guide not found in /usr/local/lib libraries mkl,vml,guide not found in /usr/lib NOT AVAILABLE atlas_blas_threads_info: Setting PTATLAS=ATLAS libraries lapack,blas not found in /usr/local/lib/ATLAS/src/ libraries lapack,blas not found in /usr/local/lib/ATLAS libraries lapack,blas not found in /usr/local/lib libraries lapack,blas not found in /usr/lib NOT AVAILABLE atlas_blas_info: libraries lapack,blas not found in /usr/local/lib/ATLAS/src/ libraries lapack,blas not found in /usr/local/lib/ATLAS libraries lapack,blas not found in /usr/local/lib libraries lapack,blas not found in /usr/lib NOT AVAILABLE ......" I have installed ATLAS and lapack with no errors. ATLAS is in usr/local/lib/ATLAS/: $ ls /usr/local/lib/ATLAS bin doc interfaces Make.Linux_UNKNOWNSSE2_2 README tune CONFIG include lib makes src config.c INSTALL.txt Makefile Make.top tst.o so, what seems to be the problem? thanks, t

Maybe, maybe not. On 64bit Intel machines running 64bit linux the fedora package raises an illegal instruction error. Since the fedora package is based on the debian package this might be a problem on Ubuntu also. For recent hardware you are probably better off compiling your own from the latest ATLAS version out there. Chuck

Red Hat uses Debian packages ? That sounds odd... FC uses RPM, Debian uses deb packages. The problem with RPM is, as stated by David some time ago, that a lot of info is missing in RPM that is present in deb. What is more, it is known that using a lot of packages repositories leads to incompatibilities and instabilities. Matthieu
