Dear Pearu, thanks for your reply.
Just a guess: did you run python in scipy directory?
No I had tried running it from other places too. The strange thing (to me) is that, even if Python returns an "exceptions.ImportError: No module named clapack", scipy still *seems* to be working just fine (or at least I can use the functions I needed most so far, or even play with the nice wxPython-based plotting tutorial).
What is the output of
python scipy_distutils/system_info.py
not really good-looking I guess: atlas_info: NOT AVAILABLE blas_info: FOUND: libraries = ['blas'] library_dirs = ['/usr/lib'] blas_src_info: NOT AVAILABLE fftw_info: NOT AVAILABLE lapack_info: FOUND: libraries = ['lapack'] library_dirs = ['/usr/lib'] lapack_src_info: NOT AVAILABLE x11_info: FOUND: libraries = ['X11'] library_dirs = ['/usr/X11R6/lib'] include_dirs = ['/usr/X11R6/include']
? And what is the exact location of your atlas library?
it's in $HOME/ATLAS/lib/Linux_P4SSE2_2/
ls -l /path/to/your/atlas/lib{lapack,f77blas,cblas,atlas}.a
