I found this thread in the mailinglist archive. I seems to get the same error : scipy 0.4.6 build with a gcc4.0.3 snapshot and gfortran4.0.3 snapshot. When I run test() I get : Adjust D1MACH by uncommenting data statements appropriate for your machine. STOP 779 I think this error is an arch specific error (AMD64 ?). Finally I found a workaround. I can run the test suite at level 10 without errors : - I deleted the two d1mach.f files and replaced them with a cfile found here : |https://pse.cheme.cmu.edu/svn-view/ascend/code/trunk/linpack/ (the file d1mach.c) | - then adjusted the setup.py files | sed "s/join('mach','\*\.f')/join('mach','*.f'),join('mach','*.c')/" -i Lib/special/setup.py sed "s/join('mach','\*\.f')/join('mach','*.f'),join('mach','*.c')/" -i Lib/integrate/setup.py |Please note that I considered that it worked because I successfully compute the tests at level 10. But I don't know more about this.. Regards Olivier. ___________________________________________________________________________ Nouveau : téléphonez moins cher avec Yahoo! Messenger !
