I've managed to build NumPy 1.0.3 from source using the Intel icc compiler and the Intel MKL, and now I'm trying for SciPy. Reading the archives looking for help I found this: ==================================================================== Daniel Nogradi nogradi@gmail.... Sat May 19 12:03:49 CDT 2007

I have the following installed on a Fedora 3 box: [...] and am trying to do a fresh install of scipy-0.5.2 but "python setup.py build_ext" is complaining about a missing f95 executable and ld about missing dfftpack .....

Libraries dfftpack and others are built with build_clib command, so sole build_ext is not enough. Use

python build

to build scipy.

Thanks very much, indeed, build_clib, build_ext, build works (in this order). ====================================================================== LAPACK and BLAS built successfully with the Intel compilers (details on SciPy-dev) using modifications of Steve Baum's instructions at: http://pong.tamu.edu/tiki/tiki-view_blog_post.php?blogId=6&postId=97 But every combination of options I can think of for the CL build of SciPy (recent svn) fails with one of two error messages: python setup.py build_clib --compiler=intel --fcompiler=intel build_ext --compiler=intel --fcompiler=intel build >inst12 [...] error: file 'dfftpack/*.f' does not exist python setup.py build_clib --compiler=intel --fcompiler=intel [...] error: file 'dfftpack/*.f' does not exist python setup.py build --compiler=intel --fcompiler=intel [...] error: '_fftpackmodule.c' missing Any help appreciated, thanks, -rex
