[Numpy-discussion] Help building numpy

[Ian Goodfellow]

I'm using 64-bit Ubuntu 10.04. I originally tried building without site.cfg
and got the same result. After that I removed the installation and the
numpy/build directory and tried again with site.cfg.

Here's the otuput of my show_config(). Does this mean it's actually using
atlas? I ran 'make time' in the atlas directory and got higher % of clock
speed numbers than the reference so I would be surprised if my atlas build
is this slow.

atlas_threads_info:
    libraries = ['lapack', 'lapack', 'f77blas', 'cblas', 'atlas']
    library_dirs = ['/usr/local/atlas/lib']
    define_macros = [('ATLAS_INFO', '"\\"None\\""')]
    language = f77
    include_dirs = ['/usr/include']
blas_opt_info:
    libraries = ['lapack', 'f77blas', 'cblas', 'atlas']
    library_dirs = ['/usr/local/atlas/lib']
    define_macros = [('ATLAS_INFO', '"\\"None\\""')]
    language = c
    include_dirs = ['/usr/include']
atlas_blas_threads_info:
    libraries = ['lapack', 'f77blas', 'cblas', 'atlas']
    library_dirs = ['/usr/local/atlas/lib']
    define_macros = [('ATLAS_INFO', '"\\"None\\""')]
    language = c
    include_dirs = ['/usr/include']
lapack_opt_info:
    libraries = ['lapack', 'lapack', 'f77blas', 'cblas', 'atlas']
    library_dirs = ['/usr/local/atlas/lib']
    define_macros = [('ATLAS_INFO', '"\\"None\\""')]
    language = f77
    include_dirs = ['/usr/include']
lapack_mkl_info:
  NOT AVAILABLE
blas_mkl_info:
  NOT AVAILABLE
mkl_info:
  NOT AVAILABLE
