Just thought I'd chime in with another possible solution. I seem to remember seeing similar errors after compiling SciPy on my MBP. If I recall correctly, updating my cctools fixed the problem. -Aaron Erin Sheldon wrote:
Hi Marco -
I also had success with MacPorts (formerly darwinports). It seems to be a very stable solution. For me it required compiling gcc 4.1, however, so it may require patience.
I was pleased enough to create at how-to on this wiki page: http://howdy.physics.nyu.edu/index.php/Numpy_For_Mac_Using_Macports

Hi,
I installed numpy and scipy on tiger with darminports (py-numpy and py-scipy)
everything works well.

Hi all, new to the ML, here. :)
I have some troubles with SciPy on Tiger.
I have complied scipy (and numpy) on my laptop (ibook g4) using all the hints on the "Installing SciPy on MacOSX" page, but i still have some problems. If i do something list "import scipy", on python 2.4.3 (ActiveState), it all runs well, and i have scipy to use. If, instead, i use "from scipy import *" then i obtain, as an answer from python:
from scipy import *
Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/site-packages/scipy/linsolve/__init__.py", line 5, in ? import umfpack File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/site-packages/scipy/linsolve/umfpack/__init__.py", line 3, in ? from umfpack import * File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/site-packages/scipy/linsolve/umfpack/umfpack.py", line 11, in ? import scipy.sparse as sp File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/site-packages/scipy/sparse/__init__.py", line 5, in ? from sparse import * File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/site-packages/scipy/sparse/sparse.py", line 12, in ? import sparsetools ImportError: Failure linking new module: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/site-packages/scipy/sparse/sparsetools.so: Symbol not found: _sprintf$LDBLStub Referenced from: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/site-packages/scipy/sparse/sparsetools.so Expected in: dynamic lookup
Now, i could modify the codebase to use the "import scipy" and not "from scipy import *" (that's code i've been writing on linux and then moved to mac), but it would take time, maybe too much.
I have been lookin on list archives, and found something but i've not really understood what to do... So, any good soul? :)
TIA,
marco
