Hello, I've been put in charge of setting up a Dell 64bit Xeon workstation and on the side I've been tring to get scipy to install, but I haven't had any luck. I compiled LAPACK, BLAS, and ATLAS sucsesfuly and scipy finds them. Its when I try to build scipy that I get problems. I try just plain "./setup.py build" and I get these errors:
Hello,
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/gcc-lib/x86_64-redhat-linux/3.2.3/libg2c.a(s_stop.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
It seems that your gcc installation is somewhat messed up (libg2c hasn't been compiled with -fPIC) IMHO, best you can do to see if it's the problem is to compile your own gcc (try 3.4.3 instead of 4.0.0 which seems a little buggy). Don't be afraid : it's not that hard. Regards,
