[Numpy-discussion] Numpy 1.3.0 rc1 fails find_duplicates on Solaris

[Mark Sienkiewicz]

Numpy 1.3.0 rc1 fails this self-test on Solaris.

The software I am using:

NumPy version 1.3.0rc1
Python version 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Jun  4 2008, 15:48:19) [C]
nose version 0.10.4


I think this identifies the compilers it was built with:

customize SunFCompiler
Found executable /opt/SUNWspro-6u2/bin/f90
Could not locate executable echo ranlib
customize SunFCompiler
customize SunFCompiler using config
C compiler: cc -DNDEBUG -O -xcode=pic32



It passes in Python 2.5.1 on these machines:
x86 macintosh, 32 bit
Red Hat Enterprise 4 Linux, x86, 32 bit
RHE 3, x86, 32 bit
RHE 4, x86, 64 bit
PowerPC mac, 32 bit  (Yes, even the PPC mac.)


I see that this is the same problem as 
http://projects.scipy.org/numpy/ticket/1039 but the data used in the 
test is different.
