installation problems with SciPy

Hi, just changing LD_LIBRARY_PATH did not make a difference. I tried reinstalling scipy with the LD_LIBRARY_PATH set, and somehow this installation crashed with the following final lines: building extension "scipy.io.numpyio" sources building extension "scipy.linalg.fblas" sources generating fblas interface 20 error: build/src/atlas321/fblas.pyf: No such file or directory Now I am confused again... How did I break this?

Thank you for the help. Putting /usr/lib/3dnow in LD_LIBRARY_PATH made the tests run better. The state has progressed: Running scipy.test() now gives no errors (on all levels). The only things that go "wrong" now is two warnings. I don't know if they are worth bothering about: **************************************************************** WARNING: cblas module is empty ----------- See scipy/INSTALL.txt for troubleshooting. Notes: * If atlas library is not found by scipy/system_info.py, then scipy uses fblas instead of cblas. **************************************************************** **************************************************************** WARNING: clapack module is empty ----------- See scipy/INSTALL.txt for troubleshooting. Notes: * If atlas library is not found by scipy/system_info.py, then scipy uses flapack instead of clapack. **************************************************************** However, import atlas_version still gives an error. I don't know if I should care? bash-2.05a$ python -c 'import atlas_version' Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in ? ImportError: ./atlas_version.so: undefined symbol: ATL_buildinfo Best, and thanks already! I would never have found this LD_LIBRARY_PATH stuff.

Hi, I seem to have some problems installing SciPy. I installed SciPy from the latest (?) source that I downloaded following the instructions at http://www.scipy.org/documentation/buildscipy.txt I took advantage of the fact that ATLAS is already installed here under /usr/lib/3dnow. I don't have root access to my system. The test() routine runs, but gives 15 errors of the type ====================================================================== ERROR: check_sh_legendre (scipy.special.basic.test_basic.test_sh_legendre) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/giovanni/bin/lib/python2.3/site-packages/scipy/special/tests/test_basic.py", line 1806, in check_sh_legendre Ps1 = sh_legendre(1) File "/home/giovanni/bin/lib/python2.3/site-packages/scipy/special/orthogonal.py", line 593, in sh_legendre x,w,mu0 = ps_roots(n,mu=1) File "/home/giovanni/bin/lib/python2.3/site-packages/scipy/special/orthogonal.py", line 584, in ps_roots return js_roots(n,1.0,1.0,mu=mu) File "/home/giovanni/bin/lib/python2.3/site-packages/scipy/special/orthogonal.py", line 205, in js_roots val = gen_roots_and_weights(n,an_Js,sbn_Js,mu0) File "/home/giovanni/bin/lib/python2.3/site-packages/scipy/special/orthogonal.py", line 121, in gen_roots_and_weights eig = get_eig_func() File "/home/giovanni/bin/lib/python2.3/site-packages/scipy/special/orthogonal.py", line 91, in get_eig_func eig = scipy.linalg.eig AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'eig' ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Moreover, functions from the packages "integrate" and "linalg" are simply not found... I generated the information that is requested by the INSTALL.text file; it is attached to this mail... The command $ python scipy_core/scipy_distutils/command/build_flib.py could not be executed because for some reason "build_flib.py" is not present; maybe the info in attachment might tell why? If these problems could be solved, I would be thrilled, because SciPy really looks to a promising tool.

Hello
by Maxim Shemanarev 20 Jun '04

20 Jun '04

Hello All, I'm Maxim Shemanarev and I will work on the new graphic back-end in Kiva. It's based on my Anti-Grain Geometry (http://antigrain.com). I can perfectly do the C++ part of the job, and Eric and I have lots of new ideas, but I also will need to do some job in Python and SWIG. I'm still not very good in those things, so, please forgive me possible stupid questions. I will gratefully appreciate your help. Currently I'm working on improving alpha-blending in AGG (very basic things), so it will be a while before I ask you of some help. Thank you in advance. McSeem

interest in xplt bug reports?
by Arnd Baecker 17 Jun '04

17 Jun '04

Dear all, I would like to know if there is any interest in bug reports concerning scipy.xplt? During the last months a couple of issues/features/bugs and differences between linux/windows were found by the students of our computational physics course with python/Numeric/scipy. The xplt issues caused the largest amount of complaints (shortly followed by documentation ;-). If there is sufficient interest, we have some money for a student who could compile a list of problems (with short examples). As xplt derives from pygist, should we better address the questions to the pygist people and hope that any fixes will get incorporated into scipy.xplt at some point? If so, whom should we contact (Michiel de Hoon?)? Best, Arnd

slicing using Index and Mask arrays
by Travis Oliphant 10 Jun '04

10 Jun '04

I have just added a feature to scipy in CVS This feature lets a[a > 3] = 10 a[indexarray] = 3 and so forth to function. Currently a[maskarray] and a[indexarray] always return a 1-d array (multidimensional returns not yet supported) while a[maskarray] = obj and a[indexarray]= obj will keep the shape of a To enable the new feature you must type (we will do this by default on scipy import at some point) scipy.alter_numeric() You can get back old numeric behavior using scipy.restore_numeric() Please report any bugs you find... -Travis O.

Citing SciPy
by Prabhu Ramachandran 04 Jun '04

04 Jun '04

Hi, I cite SciPy in my Thesis and need to specify the authors and a year. This is what I have so far: @Misc{, title = {{SciPy}: Open source scientific tools for {Python}}, url = "http://www.scipy.org/" } The bibliography style I use (natbib) requires a year and author names. Any recommendations for these fields? FWIW, this is what I use for SWIG and Python: @Misc{, author = {Guido van Rossum and others}, title = {The {Python} programming language}, year = {1991--}, url = "http://www.python.org/" } @Misc{, author = {David Beazley and others}, title = {{SWIG}: Simplified Wrapper and Interface Generator}, year = {1995--}, url = "http://www.swig.org" } Thanks. prabhu

Hi all, after Robert's help, I got current CVS to successfully build on a Fedora Core 2 box, using the scipy ATLAS libs for P4 with HT. Running the level=10 tests gives me a single failure: ====================================================================== FAIL: check_expon (scipy.stats.morestats.test_morestats.test_anderson) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Traceback (most recent call last): File "scipy/stats/tests/test_morestats.py", line 55, in check_expon assert_array_less(A, crit[-2:]) File "scipy_test/testing.py", line 705, in assert_array_less assert cond,\ AssertionError: Arrays are not less-ordered (mismatch 100.0%): Array 1: 3.20099820806 Array 2: [ 1.587 1.9339999999999999] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ran 950 tests in 106.527s FAILED (failures=1) I figured it was worth reporting it here. Best, f

Problem with shared libraries
by Fernando Perez 02 Jun '04

Hi all, today I tried to build current CVS scipy on a new Fedora Core 2 system, and I'm running into a problem. I think the gist of it has already been seen by Eric here: http://www.scipy.net/pipermail/scipy-dev/2002-April/000836.html albeit in a slightly different incarnation. The symptom is: In [1]: import linalg --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ImportError Traceback (most recent call last) /usr/local/installers/src/scipy/build/lib.linux-i686-2.3/scipy/<console> /usr/local/installers/src/scipy/build/lib.linux-i686-2.3/scipy/scipy/linalg/__init__.py 6 --------------------- 7 ----> 8 """ 9 # Modules to import under the scipy namespace 10 from scipy_version import scipy_version as __version__ /usr/local/installers/src/scipy/build/lib.linux-i686-2.3/scipy/scipy/linalg/basic.py /usr/local/installers/src/scipy/build/lib.linux-i686-2.3/scipy/scipy/linalg/lapack.py ImportError: linalg/clapack.so: undefined symbol: clapack_sgesv And I think I know why it's happening: I installed the ATLAS binaries from scipy.org on my system, putting them in /usr/lib, _including_ the modified lapack/blas libraries. However, in /usr/lib Fedora also provides shared libraries (.so) for lapack and blas. I guess that the build is getting confused, picking up the shared libraries at build time. I can't put the libs from the Atlas pack in /usr/local/lib, because this directory is NFS-shared by several clients, all with different architectures (Pentium-3, P-4 wihout HT, P-4 with HT, dual-P4, etc). So I want the Atlas library set provided by scipy to go into each client's own /usr/lib, leaving /usr/local/lib for things which aren't so cpu-sensitive as Atlas. Can anyone suggest a way out of this problem? Thanks in advance for any suggestions, Fernando
