[SciPy-user] problems with scipy.test() on Opteron 64-bit

[Giovanni Samaey]

Hi again,

after all my trouble (reported above) I finally got a completed scipy build.
I got however errors in scipy.test(), which I presumed to be due to 
incorrect atlas libraries.
So I decided to compile those myself, following the instructions on 
www.scipy.org.

I had to make several modifications; namely adding -fPIC and -m64 as 
options to the make
files for blas and lapack.  (Otherwise, linking failed during scipy build.)

Running scipy.test(), I get the errors that are shown in 
file_atlas.txt.   I decided to give it a try
without atlas (which in my case worked without any difficulty).  I used 
the blas and lapack
routines that were compiled by myself and that are used to build atlas.  
As you will notice,
I get one error and one failure less in this case.

I am using cvs scipy and atlas3.6.0.  Everything is compiled using the 
gnu compilers with the
default options, to which -fPIC and -m64 are added for lapack and blas.
I googled and looked through this mailing list, but did not find 
anything directly applicable.
(If I overlooked it, I already apologize beforehand.)

Best,  Giovanni
