Status of cephes?

[Ralf Muschall]

Does anybody know which version of cephes is the current one, and
where to get it?

I found cephes-1.15.tar.gz somewhere, but it doesn't even compile
(using linux 2.2.16, libc.so.6, python 2.1, Numeric 20.0.0
(the latter two built from source)).

The problem seems to be that some of the libc/libm-functions mentioned
in cephes/protos.h became macros in /usr/include/math.h in the
(looooong) time since the creation of that version of cephes (around
March 1999), and that the arg list of PyUFunc_FromFuncAndData(...)
(and probably mny more) has changed.

Unfortunately, oliphant.netpedia.net (the official home of cephes)
requires a password and seems not to accept the usual combinations
like ("guest","guest"), ("guest,"") etc., so I cannot verify the
version.
