Hi,
I work on a dual processor Xeon box, and try to install scipy. After various unsuccessful attempts, I now compiled BLAS, LAPACK ATLAS and FFTW3.1 from scratch, then installed numpy-0.9.5 and then installed scipy-0.4.6 under python 2.4.2. The installation went fine but after
import scipy scipy.test(level=1)
I get the following error message:
====================================================================== FAIL: check_simple (scipy.linalg.decomp.test_decomp.test_eig) ----------------------------------------------------------------------
I get the same errors. I think we are both working on a 64 bit system. I noticed the comments in the test_fblas.py file in the linalg/tests directory: # These test really need to be checked on 64 bit architectures. # What does complex32 become on such machines? complex64 I'll bet. # If so, I think we are OK. # Check when we have a machine to check on. Is it possible that this is the source of our problem? Best, Matthew
