Hi Fernando,
Am I missing something? I don't get scipy.lib when I install from cvs, so I am wondering if something has changed and I need to checkout scipy again?
I did a fresh checkout, b/c I recalled hearing about a discussion on a directory reorg. Since CVS sucks so badly with layout operations, I played it safe and did a clean checkout.
Anyway, scipy.linalg.lapack.flapack.cheev(a) runs fine here on Fedora Core 3, but I am using the blas libraries that came with the distro. Is Atlas to be preferred to blas?
ATLAS provides a tuned BLAS, optimized for your specific architecture. The functionality is the same as that in Fedora's generic BLAS, but the performance is higher. Cheers, f
