LinearAlgebra incredibly slow for eigenvalue problems

[drife]

Hi David,

Yes, when Numeric compiles it does look like the linking is being
done properly. I captured the build to a file and see a few lines
similar to:


gcc -pthread -shared build/temp.linux-i686-2.4/Src/lapack_litemodule.o
-L/d2/lib/atlas -llapack -lptcblas -lptf77blas -latlas -lg2c -o
build/lib.linux-i686-2.4/lapack_lite.so

I checked the files in build/lib.linux-i686-2.4 and none have
dependencies on ATLAS.

When I run Python interpreter with:

>>> import Numeric
>>> Numeric.__file__

I get the answer I expect.
I am totall baffled.

Any other ideas?

Thanks for your help,

Daran
