[SciPy-dev] Building numpy/scipy on RHEL5 OR CentOS5

[Michael Hearne]

I've now passed the BLAS/Lapack stage, and am trying to build scipy.  
However, I get the following sorts of errors from swig:

scipy/linsolve/umfpack/umfpack.i:192: Error: Unable to find 'umfpack.h'
scipy/linsolve/umfpack/umfpack.i:193: Error: Unable to find 
'umfpack_solve.h'
...

I found something from the Scipy-User mailing list (from two years ago!):
http://projects.scipy.org/pipermail/scipy-user/2006-July/008661.html

That indicates I should do this:

 >>export UMFPACK = "None"

in the shell.

I couldn't find any umf*.h files anywhere in scipy or any of the other 
supporting packages.  Is this another external dependency, or something 
I can ignore using the method above?
