[SciPy-user] cephesmodule build problem

[Stephen Walton]

I'm having a very strange and annoyingly intermittent problem building 
Scipy 0.3.4613 from CVS.  Specifically, if I do "python setup.py build" 
all is well.  If I do "python setup.py bdist_rpm" I get the following error:

> gcc: Lib/special/_cephesmodule.c
> Lib/special/_cephesmodule.c:17:30: _nc_cephesmodule.c: No such file or 
> directory
> Lib/special/_cephesmodule.c:17:30: _nc_cephesmodule.c: No such file or 
> directory

> exit status 1

If I copy the above gcc command and paste it into a terminal window, it 
succeeds fine.  As far as I can tell, the gcc commands for both build 
and bdist_rpm are the same.  I do 'rm -rf build dist MANIFEST' in the 
root scipy directory before the build in all cases.  This is on FC3.
