problem with FFT from Numeric 20.2.0

[Nick Efford]

I'm trying to build a working Numeric 20.2.0 from source using
GCC 3.0 on a Linux system running Python 2.1.  The FFT module is
causing problems at present; when attempting to import, I get

  >>> import FFT
  Fatal Python error: can't initialize module fftpack
  Abort

and Python crashes.  Can anyone suggest what is causing this,
or possible fixes?

Thanks,


Nick
