After installing numpy-0.9.6 and scipy-0.4.8, trying to generate the wrappers results in the following output:

This is the problem. The first thing to check is that efc is on your PATH. The
efc? AFAIK the official driver name for intel fortran is ifort, and this is indeed on my path.
Well, according to the error message, it was looking for efort and efc for some reason. Looking at the code (numpy/distutils/fcompiler/intel.py), it appears that the IntelItaniamFCompiler class looks for efort and efc; however, that compiler is supposed to be specified by intele, not intel.
An older name is ifc, though it complains about that command name being deprecated:
brick@genugtig:/usr/local/src/numpy-0.9.6 $ ifc ifc: warning: The Intel Fortran driver is now named ifort. You can suppress this message with '-quiet' ifort: Command line error: no files specified; for help type "ifort -help"
brick@genugtig:/usr/local/src/numpy-0.9.6 $ efc bash: efc: command not found
brick@genugtig:/usr/local/src/numpy-0.9.6 $ ifort -v Version 9.0
brick@genugtig:/usr/local/src/numpy-0.9.6
I also added symbolic links for efc and efort. Still no-go though.
second thing to check is the version string of the compiler. numpy.distutils uses regexes to extract the version of the compiler from the version string. It is possible that you are using a version of the compiler that has a different string than we are expecting.
How can I obtain this test string? It did work with the older version of scipy/f2py, so this may be some sort of regression.
The regexes are the version_pattern class attributes in the file intel.py given above. -- Robert Kern robert.kern@gmail.com "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco
