[Numpy-discussion] Floating point exception with numpy and embedded python interpreter

[Arkaitz Bitorika]

Hi,

I'm embedding Python in a big C++ program (the NS network simulator) and I
have problems when importing the numpy module, I get a Floating Point
exception. The C code that causes the exception is:

    Py_Initialize();
    PyObject* module = PyImport_ImportModule("numpy");
    Py_DECREF(module);


I'm running Ubuntu Breezy on a dual processor Dell machine, with the stock
python and numpy 0.9.6. One strange thing is that I haven't been able to
reproduce the crash by writing a minimal C program with the code above, it
only crashes when added to my program. I've been embedding Python for ages
on the same program and other modules work fine, only numpy fails.

I've debugged the issue a bit and I've seen that the exception is thrown
when the numpy __init__.py tries to import the core module. The GDB
backtrace is pasted at the end.
Any idea what may be going wrong?

Thanks,
Arkaitz
