Re: [SciPy-user] scipy build with gcc on solaris problems

For C, it should (in both the descriptive and normative sense) use whatever compiler that built Python. Look in $PREFIX/lib/python2.x/config/Makefile for the CC variable.

For Fortran, the build will probably use f77 if you don't pick anything else using --fcompiler. You may or may not need to change that.

I noticed that atlas and scipy often do not pick the same fortran compiler by default. If you have gcc and sun compilers on solaris, I would not be surprised if this were the case. With ATLAS, you can change the fortran compiler with the option -C if fortran_compiler during configure stage. cheers, David
