[Numpy-discussion] failure building numpy using icc

[Glen W. Mabey]

Hello,

I'm using svn numpy and get the following error upon executing

  /usr/local/bin/python2.5 setup.py config --noisy --cc=/opt/intel/cce/10.0.025/bin/icc --compiler=intel --fcompiler=intel build_clib build_ext

I see:

conv_template:> build/src.linux-x86_64-2.5/numpy/core/src/scalartypes.inc

And I do not see any errors when building the same svn version with gcc (on
a different machine).

I've unsuccessfully tried to follow that backtrace of functions to
figure out exactly what is going on.

Any hints/suggestions?

Thanks,
