Hi,

I'm trying to get numpy work with AMD's MKL. The problem is that they not give a CBLAS interface, only the BLAS one. Can the numpy distutils check the existence of the cblas interface somewhere ? For the moment, it checks something with BLAS (but no actual testing takes place), but not CBLAS.

My understanding, but that's only from having read the distutils sources, is that you don't check for cblas. You implement a acml checker, like MKL, but you have to define NO_ATLAS_INFO to 1 to say that cblas is not available (if you read the setup.py of numpy.core, which needs cblas and not blas, you will see that's how it is decide whether _dotblas should be built or not).
