[Numpy-discussion] Biulding Numarray with atlas.

[Chris Barker]

Hi all,

I'm working on building numarray with atlas on a Fedora core 4 system. I 
installed atlas by downloading a binary from the atlas sourceforge site, 
and copying stuff into /usr/local/...

Then in cfc_packages.py, I added:

USE_LAPACK = True

at the top. That doesn't seem like where I should do it, but it works.

then I got:

Src/_dotblas.c:15:19: error: cblas.h: No such file or directory

So I looked and saw:

     else:
         lapack_dirs = ['/usr/local/lib/atlas']
         lapack_libs = ['lapack', 'cblas', 'f77blas', 'atlas', 'g2c', 'm']

which makes sense, we haven't added the include directory that cblas.h 
is in.

So I added:
lapack_include_dirs += ['/usr/local/include/atlas/']

and now it seems to work.

Perhaps an include line should be added to the stock cfc_packages.py

-Chris
