I also tried building python with MIPSPro C compiler and then SciPy using The MIPSPro compiler suite. The python build worked fine after
readline issues sorted out, and it appeared to work fine. However, python core dumped in the middle of building the flapack wrappers with f2py, so it looks like something is working quite right in the
getting python
build. I'd like to get this working, so if anyone has built SciPy/Python entirely with MIPSPro, fill me in on the secrets.
Did you disable g77 compiler from the header of scipy/linalg/setup_linalg.py? In the latest CVS version of linalg the g77 compiler is forced only for win32.
I hadn't, but I just tried this, and it still dies at: Reading fortran codes... Reading file '/home/army/eric/third/sgi_cc/SciPy-0.2.0_alpha_103.3566/linalg/flapack. pyf' Post-processing...

Another question: does your irix have ranlib? In irix64-6.5-2.1 that I can access it is missing.
I just checked, and the machine I'm using does have ranlib. I am using a slightly older build (from the tarballs on the site a few days back). I'll try again soon from the CVS and see how that goes. eric
