[SciPy-user] failure to build scipy on RHEL5

[Michael Hearne]

Paul - I apologize if you get two responses - it's not clear if my  
email client actually delivered another email I just sent on this topic.

In answer to your offer - yes, that would be great if I could get the  
RPMs, as I am completely unable to compile scipy on my own.  I'm using  
f77, and getting complaints about not having a Fortran 90 compiler,  
and not having compiled with LAPACK with -fPIC (which I certainly  
_tried_ to do).

Anyway, if you have time to put them on EPEL, that would help me and  
hopefully other frustrated RHEL users out there.  Otherwise, let me  
know the best way for me to get the files.

Thanks,

Mike
