[SciPy-user] Installing scipy with fftw in non-standard location

[Joris De Ridder]

Thanks, George. This seemed to solve the problem of finding the libraries:

fftw2_info:
  libraries rfftw,fftw not found in /software/fftw-2.1.5/
  libraries rfftw,fftw not found in /software/fftw-2.1.5/include
  FOUND:
    libraries = ['rfftw', 'fftw']
    library_dirs = ['/software/fftw-2.1.5/lib']
    define_macros = [('SCIPY_FFTW_H', None)]
    include_dirs = ['/software/fftw-2.1.5/include']

I'm not sure that they're really included though. I guess (nowhere documented)
that I should be importing the FFTW functionality by

>>> from scipy.fftw import *

but there is no such (sub)module, only the standard fftpack module. Hence my doubts...

Thanks anyway,
Joris

   [GN]: I resorted to setting the environmental variable FFTW to the fftw  
   [GN]: directory; that is to the directory holding the include and lib fftw  
   [GN]: subdirectories.

   [GN]: This does seem to work
