I tried to install numpy and scipy on my Linux machine (64 bit,
openSUSE 11, Python 2.6).

Numpy installed with warnings like "Lapack (...) libraries not found",
but scipy then fails:

error:
    Lapack (http://www.netlib.org/lapack/) libraries not found.
    Directories to search for the libraries can be specified in the
    numpy/distutils/site.cfg file (section [lapack]) or by setting
    the LAPACK environment variable.

Unfortunately, www.netlib.org is not reachable, so I cannot try to
install lapack.

What is the reason for that?

I tried numpack 1.3.0 and scipack 0.7.0, with easy_install.

Best regards

Ole
