[Numpy-discussion] numpy blas running slow: how to check that it is properly linked

[David Cottrell]

Thanks, just getting back to this. I just checked again, and after
setting my LD_LIBRARY_PATH properly, ldd shows _dotblas.so pointing
and the sunmath and sunperf libraries. However the test_03.py still
runs at about 8-9 seconds ... far too slow.

~/local/lib/python3.1/site-packages/numpy/core $ ldd _dotblas.so | sed
