[SciPy-dev] AttributeError link_shared_object missing when compiling with intel compilers

[Huw Lynch]

Hi

I have been trying to compile scipy using intel compilers on linux. The build keeps failing with the following error;

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'link_shared_object'


I have tried building using a 0.5.2 release of scipy and the current svn version - both hit the same problem. 

Is there any solution to this? I see several other postings from people reporting similar problems but none that have a working solution.

full traceback...

Setup is being invoked as follows;

python setup.py -v config --compiler=intel config_fc --fcompiler=intel install --prefix=/usr/local/scipy

The compilers I am using are

$ ifort -V 
Intel(R) Fortran Itanium(R) Compiler for Itanium(R)-based applications
Version 9.1    Build 20060818 Package ID: l_fc_c_9.1.037

$ uname -a
Linux xnac 2.6.5-7.283-sn2 #1 SMP Wed Nov 29 16:55:53 UTC 2006 ia64 ia64 ia64 GNU/Linux

python is v2.4.2 and numpy v1.0.1

Thanks
