[SciPy-user] Problem with numeric array bounds

[Ramon Crehuet]

Hi,
Unfortunately I have to stick to Numeric 23.8 because the application is
not fully compatible with Numeric 24. In fact, we have another machine
where Numeric 23.8 is working flowlessly so it must be a compilation
problem. However we have updated gcc (to 4.1.3) but the problem remains.
Any suggestion?
Cheers,
Ramon
