[Numpy-discussion] Numpy Installation Problem on Redhat Linux

[Hung-Hsuan Chen]

Dear all,

I've built blas, lapack, and atlas libraries, as shown below.

$ ls ~/lib/atlas/lib/
libatlas.a  libcblas.a  libf77blas.a  liblapack.a  libptcblas.a  libptf77blas.a

The library location are specified by site.cfg file, as shown below.

[DEFAULT]
library_dirs = /home/username/lib/atlas/lib
include_dirs = /home/username/lib/atlas/include

[blas]
libraries = libf77blas, libcblas, libatlas

[lapack]
libraries = liblapack, libf77blas, libcblas, libatlas

I've tried to build numpy (version 1.6.2) by
$ python setup.py build --fcompiler=gnu

However, I got the following error message:
error: Command "/usr/bin/g77 -g -Wall -g -Wall -shared
build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.6/build/src.linux-x86_64-2.6/scipy/integrate/vodemodule.o

build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.6/scipy/integrate/vode.so" failed with exit

I've searched internet for possible solutions whole day but don't have
any progress so far.  Anyone has any idea of how to fix this?  Thanks!
