Trying to modify  /numpy/distutils/system_info.py this way (only for 
test purpose...):

#           lapack_libs = 
self.get_libs('lapack_libs',['mkl_lapack32','mkl_lapack64'])
            lapack_libs = self.get_libs('lapack_libs',['mkl_lapack32'])

I'm able to compile numpy but import numpy fails:

ImportError: 
/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/numpy/linalg/lapack_lite.so: undefined 
symbol: zgesdd_

Looks like the procedure to detect the lapack version is fully buggy (or 
maybe the lapack debian pacakges??)

It used to work ;)
