I have managed to compile scipy on Mac OS X using unstable Fink's Python, ATLAS, and FFTW. I fixed the problem that prevented Chris Fonnesbeck from compiling, but as there are no unittests, I'm not sure it totally works. The fix is a bit of a hack, but it compiles. Turns out some of the enum names in supermatrix.h are #defined constants in some header. My grep-fu hasn't yet revealed where they are from, yet, but I can conditionally #undef them. I also fixed a problem in fastumath by porting in some changes from Numeric 23.1's umath's logical_* functions to address the same problem. Unfortunately, porting in similar changes from the equal, less, greater, etc. functions breaks things. I'll look into that some more when I can steal some more time. Below are the last two failures from the tests. They are errors in numerical accuracy only. ====================================================================== FAIL: check_bei_zeros (scipy.special.basic.test_basic.test_bei_zeros) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Traceback (most recent call last): File "/sw/lib/python2.3/site-packages/scipy/special/tests/test_basic.py", line 580, in check_bei_zeros -7.940178689168587]),11) File "/sw/lib/python2.3/site-packages/scipy_test/testing.py", line 635, in assert_array_almost_equal assert cond,\ AssertionError: Arrays are not almost equal (mismatch 20.0%): Array 1: [-2.294439682614 -4.073155089072 -5.512395729664 -6.78129444599 -7.940178689185] Array 2: [-2.294439682614 -4.073155089072 -5.512395729664 -6.78129444599 -7.940178689169] ====================================================================== FAIL: check_nrdtrimn (scipy.special.basic.test_basic.test_cephes) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Traceback (most recent call last): File "/sw/lib/python2.3/site-packages/scipy/special/tests/test_basic.py", line 344, in check_nrdtrimn assert_equal(cephes.nrdtrimn(0.5,1,1),1.0) File "/sw/lib/python2.3/site-packages/scipy_test/testing.py", line 546, in assert_equal assert desired == actual, msg AssertionError: Items are not equal: DESIRED: 1.0 ACTUAL: 0.99999999999999989 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ran 1028 tests in 9.264s FAILED (failures=2) -- Robert Kern rkern@ucsd.edu "In the fields of hell where the grass grows high Are the graves of dreams allowed to die." -- Richard Harter
