[SciPy-user] Problems compiling scipy/sparse

[Costas Malamas]

After my recent inquiry into scipy/sparse, I bit the bullet, downloaded 
SciPy CVS and started compiling everything to get scipy/sparse working.  I 
got through ATLAS, LAPACK, f2py, NumPy and most of sparsekit itself fine, 
but then run into two really bizarre issues:

a) Scipy/sparse/Makefile requires the target _sparsemodule.so (and .o).  
Yet, such a module is not compiled by any component in the directory (the 
closest is _sparsekit.pyf). What gives?

b) After taking out the _sparsemodule.so target from the Makefile, I am 
getting this error which I can't explain (disclaimer: my C is very rusty):
gcc -c -I/usr/include/python2.2 -I./SuperLU/SRC -fpic -O2 _zsuperlumodule.c
cc1: warning: -fpic ignored for target (all code is position independent)
In file included from SuperLU/SRC/zsp_defs.h:23,
                 from _zsuperlumodule.c:26:
SuperLU/SRC/supermatrix.h:19: parse error before numeric constant
SuperLU/SRC/supermatrix.h:21: parse error before numeric constant
make: *** [_zsuperlumodule.o] Error 1

All this is compiled on cygwin, gcc 3.2.  Ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Costas
