[Numpy-discussion] Bug in numpy.distutils

[Brian Granger]

Hi,

I am building numpy on a bunch of different systems right now and for
the most part I am always successful.  Today though, I found a wierd
problem.  Here is the traceback from doing python setup.py (below):

This is on an intel 10.4 box with no fortran compiler installed.
Incidently, after googling around, I did find that someone else has
seen this before - looks like they didn't report it.

http://sage.math.washington.edu:9002/sage_trac/query?status=new&status=assigned&status=reopened&format=rss&order=id

I have a hack that covers this up, but I figured it would be better to
really understand what is going on.  Any ideas?

Brian
