[SciPy-user] Install problem - Overwriting message when importing scipy

[Rob Managan]

My suspicion is this. On Mac OSX if I do a 'man round' I find that 
there is a function named round() in <math.h>. It is defined to round 
all 0.5 cases to the integer away from zero; not the same as the 
cephes definition.

I suspect that the standard library versino of round is getting 
linked to instead of the cephes version. Can this be due to the 
ordering of libraries on the link commands?

I suppose that cephes should use a unique name if we want to be sure 
that the cephes version of round is called.
