[SciPy-user] Compiling scipy with Intel ifort and SCSL on an Atix350(IA64) with linux

[Laurence Viry]

Hi!

I use Python2.4.4 and numpy-1.0.3.1.

*I would like to use SCSL SGI Library (which is compiled with Intel 
Compiler) and intel compilers
 to install numpy and scipy*

the install script didn't recognize the fc_config (--fcompiler=intele) 
options

"
warning: build_ext: f77_compiler=intele is not available.
warning: build_ext: extension 'numpy.linalg.lapack_lite' has Fortran 
libraries but no Fortran linker found, using default linker
..."
customize IntelItaniumFCompiler
option --fcompiler not recognized

"

Couldn't match compiler version for 'Intel(R) Fortran Itanium(R) 
Compiler for Itanium(R)-based applications\nVersion 9.0    Build 
20050430 Package ID: l_fc_p_9.0.021\nCopyright (C) 1985-2005 Intel 
Corporation.  All rights reserved.\nFOR NON-COMMERCIAL USE ONLY\n\n 
Intel Fortran 9.0-5238'

I changed numpy/distutils/ccompiler.py to :
compiler_class['intele'] = ('intelccompiler','IntelItaniumCCompiler',
                          "Intel(R) C Itanium(R) Compiler for 
Itanium(R)-based applications")

and put version_match = intel_version_match('Itanium') in 
fcompiler/intel.py



It found the C Intel Compiler but don't find the Fortran Intel compiler.

It's Ok for numpy but when I installed scipy, I had the error with fortran

" building 'scipy.interpolate.dfitpack' extension
error: extension 'scipy.interpolate.dfitpack' has Fortran sources but no 
Fortran compiler found
"
Can you help me to understand

thanks
