[SciPy-user] numpy linking issue

[Friedrich, Robin K]

I'm trying to build Numpy from source on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3
system. But it doesn't seem to be linking the way I need it to. I have a
scratch built ATLAS installation (libatlas.a  libcblas.a  libf77blas.a 
liblapack.a etc.) in our CM location (not /usr/lib) that I want to link
with. Importing numpy throws an exception from lapack_lite for an
undefined symbol. Regardless of whatever problem the
/usr/lib/liblapack.so might have I chose via site.cfg to use the ATLAS
libraries.  The configtest.c seems to have picked it up and was OK with
it.  Why does the main numpy lapack_lite not use the same libs?
Is there some way of forcing these libs to be picked up in preference to
/usr/lib stuff?
Thanks!
-Robin
