Hi all, new to the ML, here. :) I have some troubles with SciPy on Tiger. I have complied scipy (and numpy) on my laptop (ibook g4) using all the hints on the "Installing SciPy on MacOSX" page, but i still have some problems. If i do something list "import scipy", on python 2.4.3 (ActiveState), it all runs well, and i have scipy to use. If, instead, i use "from scipy import *" then i obtain, as an answer from python: line 5, in ? import umfpack File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/site-packages/scipy/linsolve/umfpack/__init__.py", line 3, in ? from umfpack import * File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/site-packages/scipy/linsolve/umfpack/umfpack.py", line 11, in ? import scipy.sparse as sp File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/site-packages/scipy/sparse/__init__.py", line 5, in ? from sparse import * File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/site-packages/scipy/sparse/sparse.py", line 12, in ? import sparsetools ImportError: Failure linking new module: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/site-packages/scipy/sparse/sparsetools.so: Symbol not found: _sprintf$LDBLStub Referenced from: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/site-packages/scipy/sparse/sparsetools.so Expected in: dynamic lookup Now, i could modify the codebase to use the "import scipy" and not "from scipy import *" (that's code i've been writing on linux and then moved to mac), but it would take time, maybe too much. I have been lookin on list archives, and found something but i've not really understood what to do... So, any good soul? :) TIA, marco PS RTFM welcomed only if with links on what to read :)
