[Numpy-discussion] Singular Matrix problem with Matplitlib in Numpy (Windows - AMD64)

[George Goussard]

Hello David.

I am using the Intel MKL BLAS/LAPACK. I have replaced this with AMD's ACML library. Now there is no exception raised due to a "Singular matrix" while trying to move the legend(wiggling the graph). So, the graph is updated and the interaction is fine(you can wiggle the graph and it updates, minimize, maximeie etc.). But ... the legend is now only drawn sometimes and the graphs are drawn with an intermittent line, as if the - - -  pattern was specified. Something is still not right. I just can't seem to put my finger on it since there are some many parties involved(numpy,matplotlib,python, ctypes etc.)

I also ran the numpy.test() with NUmpy that I compiled with AMD's ACML. The results are included:

What does numpy.test() says ? Did you use an external blas/lapack when
you built numpy for AMD64
