[Numpy-discussion] numpy import on x86_64 arch

[Vincent Thierion]

Hello,

I import numpy module (numpy-1.0.4) on a x86_64 machine (on which I don't
have any root privileges) after having install it thanks to python "setup.py
install --prefix=../numpy". In this manner, I obtain a 64 bits compatible
numpy library.
(the "numpy" folder used for install is created just before install process)

I had the following error :

*    import numpy
  File "../numpy/lib64/python2.3/site-packages/numpy/__init__.py", line 43,
in ?
  File "../numpy/lib64/python2.3/site-packages/numpy/linalg/__init__.py",
line 4, in ?
  File "../numpy/lib64/python2.3/site-packages/numpy/linalg/linalg.py", line
25, in ?
ImportError: liblapack.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or
directory

*I looked for liblapack.so.3 and find it in /usr/*lib*/liblapack.so.3. It
seems it doesn't work because numpy 64 bits version seems to need /usr/*
lib64*/liblapack.so.3. That I tested in other machine and it works when
numpy can find /usr/*lib64*/liblapack.so.3.

So is there a solution to use numpy 64 bits version with a
/usr/*lib*/liblapack.so.3
or is it absolutly necessary to install lapack 64 bits version ?

Thank you

Vincent
