Hi,
I've compile sfepy un a fedoracore 8 64bit machine (8 cores) but some tests run very slow. The debug output show the test stopping a long time in lines like:
first sfepy is not parallelized (yet), but it should not run slower than on other machines. On my machine (a quad-core 64bit, gentoo), all tests pass in:
32 test file(s) executed in 41.48 s, 0 failure(s) of 42 test(s)
you should get similar results.
sfepy: nls: iter: 0, residual: 3.515775e-04 (rel: 1.000000e+00)
I've installed the latest numpy, scipy and umfpack scikits from source. I've installed (among others) the following devel packages:
atlas.x86_64 lapack-devel.x86_64 suitesparse-devel.x86_64
and inserted the section
[umfpack] library_dirs=/usr/lib64 include_dirs = /usr/include/suitesparse
both in numpy and in scipy site.cfg.
To verify umfpack installaion: try to go to sfepy/solvers/ls.py and try in a python shell the imports starting at line 56 - one of them should import umfpack.
Also, how did you compile sfepy extension modules - 'make' or 'python setup.py build_ext --inplace'? I have noticed that the latter options produces a slightly slower code, but nothing significant.
