[SciPy-user] PPC 10.4 scipy installation problems

[Sean McDaniel]

HI y'all,

I am having difficulty installing scipy on my PPC powerbook on os x 10.4. I
have followed the instructions on the web page, and have checked the forums
for possible fixes, but without sucess.

I am installing scipy for the convolution tools and need the signal
submodule to work correctly.

Installation notes:
  * I installed the latest fortran compiler from the att web site. I also
have g77 installed on the system.
  * gfortran version 4.2.3
  * GCC version - 4.0.1
  * I downloaded and installed the fftw package.
  * Installed numpy
  * Installed python:  python setup.py build_src build_clib
--fcompiler=gnu95 build_ext --fcompiler=gnu95 build
  * The first time I tried to run the import tests, it said I needed "nose."
This was installed.

Numpy and scipy import without problems, but for scipy, the the test fails
with a segmentation fault...
scipy.test('1','10')
---snip---
Test generator for parametric tests ... SKIP: Need to import PIL for this
test
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/unittest.py:507:
DeprecationWarning: NumpyTestCase will be removed in the next release;
please update your code to use nose or unittest
  return self.suiteClass(map(testCaseClass, testCaseNames))
test1 (test_segment.TestSegment) ... ok
test2 (test_segment.TestSegment) ... Segmentation fault
---snip

...and importation of the signal submodule fails.
from scipy import signal
--snip---
ImportError:
dlopen(/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/scipy/integrate/_odepack.so,

  Expected in: dynamic lookup

Other installation attepts have generated similar dynamic lookup errors.

The numpy test generates a few errors. They are listed below...
numpy.test('1', '10')
