[Numpy-discussion] glibc error

[Gideon Simpson]

Having built an up to date lapack and ATLAS against gcc 4.3.2, I tried  
installing numpy 1.2.1 on Python 2.5.4.  When testing I get:

Python 2.5.4 (r254:67916, Jan 24 2009, 00:27:20)
[GCC 4.3.2] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> import numpy
 >>> numpy.test()

I then have to kill python to get control again.
