Installing latest svn version UMFPACK issue
Dear Scipy users/developers, I want to install the latest svn version of scipy because I need the curve_fit routine in minpack. This routine (although not very robust) makes curve fitting much easier, and I would like to see it included in the release version of scipy soon :) However when I try to install the latest svn checkout I get an error that the installation cannot find UMFPACK on my system (OSX). I did not get this error with previous installations and I am wondering why I do get it now. Is this a newly added dependency (in which case please tell me how to install it since it seems to be designed to be integrated with matlab), if not why does this problem occur (is there perhaps something wrong with the installation script). Kind regards, Pim Schellart

AFAIK, it is a newly-added warning, for an old dependency. In other words, this used to fail similarly, but you weren't aware. What you don't know can't hurt you, right! Gaël

Exactly, it's a warning. UMFPACK is an optional component, so you should be able to build Scipy also without it. If you can't then there's probably a mistake somewhere. -- Pauli Virtanen
