[Numpy-discussion] [SciPy-dev] Weave, numpy, external libraries and conflicting typedefs

[Prabhu Ramachandran]

I sent this reply on 9th but the message seems to have never made it
to scipy-dev and is still pending moderator approval on
numpy-discussion.  I had attached a patch for weave that made the
email larger than 40 KB.  I don't have checkin privileges to
scipy/numpy.  So if someone would be kind enough to apply the patch
for me, let me know and I'll send you the patch off-list.

Travis, you rock!  Thanks for fixing this in SVN.  All the problems I
was having earlier are gone.

Here is a patch for weave's SWIG support that should be applied to
scipy.  The SWIG runtime layout changed in version 1.3.28 and this
broke weave support.  This should be fixed soon (hopefully!) in SWIG
CVS and the following patch will ensure that weave works against it.

Many thanks once again for the speedy fixes!

cheers,
