Hmm, I would like that people would not need to use site.cfg if they are
using system defaults.
Could someone send information where RPM packed fftw libraries and
include files are installed? 

The current system_info.py assumes that one of the following file groups
exists:
  libfftw.a, librfftw.a, fftw.h, rfftw.h
or
  libdfftw.a, libdrfftw.a, dfftw.h, drfftw.h
(in proper lib/include directories, of course)

How fftw installation in Redhat based systems differs from this setup?
