[Numpy-discussion] Linux numpy 1.0.1 install failed

[Gong, Shawn (Contractor)]

Hi List,

I am trying to install numpy 1.0.1 on Linux. (Numeric and numarray have been fine)
System info: Redhat Linux kernel 2.4 with gcc 3.2.3 but no separate FORTRAN compiler.
It has a Fortran 77 compiler (the one which comes as part of gcc)

My questions:
1) install can't find ATLAS (*.a) that I specify.
Do they have to be *.so files?  Do the *.a file sizes look right?
Where can I get libblas.so liblapack.so files?
2) do I need a FORTRAN compiler? Will Fortran 77 compiler do?

Thanks,
Shawn

Followings are error messages:

When I type "python setup.py install > numpy.out", I get:
Screen display as follows:

I then asked system admin people to install a complete ATLAS onto /usr/local/lib/atlas

System admin people said that he doesn't know how to get/install *.so. He can only get *.a library.
I also changed site.cfg to enter 
	"library_dirs = /usr/local/lib/atlas/"
