Hello guys,

After struggling for a while, I just finished the installation
of scipy using the intel mkl library.

Ungracefully the tests ended with an error regarding
"undefined symbol: ATL_buildinfo" (see below)

Can this scipy installation live with this error? or
Is it  prone to throw out wrong computations?

Also, why the number of ran test is not a fix number
(running the tests using a scipy/Atlas installation
finished succesfully indicating: Ran 5832 tests in 422.155s
OK (KNOWNFAIL=14, SKIP=42), but the scipy/mkl tests ended with
Ran 5833 tests in 448.386s FAILED (KNOWNFAIL=14, SKIP=34, errors=1))?

what is the meaning of KNOWNFAIL=14?

Sergio
