[Numpy-discussion] Linux numpy 1.0.1 install failed

[Gong, Shawn (Contractor)]

Thank you Robert for the quick reply.  I have been fighting this for a
while.

site.cfg file is attached.  It is sitting in my development dir called
/home/sgong/dev/numpy-1.0.1/ (same as setup.py)

Pretty much.

Don't bother. Try to get the libraries that you have working; see below.

Yes. Yes.

Could you provide the complete site.cfg file and tell us where you put
it
relative to the numpy source directory?
