[Numpy-discussion] another numpy/ATLAS problem

[David Warde-Farley]

It seems like I've done this enough times on enough machines but I'm  
still running into problems...

After installing what I'm pretty sure is a complete ATLAS+LAPACK and  
building numpy against it (appropriately editing site.cfg, etc.) I'm  
faced with this when building numpy-1.3.0:

dwf at mirage:~/tmp$ python
Python 2.6.4 (r264:75706, Nov  2 2009, 14:44:17)

 >>> import numpy
Traceback (most recent call last):

     from numpy.linalg import lapack_lite
ImportError: /home/dwf/virtualenv/stable/lib/python2.6/site-packages/ 
numpy/linalg/lapack_lite.so: undefined symbol: dlamc3_

FWIW these are the files that ATLAS has installed:

dwf at mirage:~/Downloads$ ls /opt/sw/ATLAS/lib/ -al
total 23472
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root     4096 2009-11-26 20:36 .

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   573196 2009-11-26 20:36 libptf77blas.a

liblapack.a looks big enough for it to be a complete LAPACK.

ATLAS (3.9.17) was configured with the following:

../configure -Ss kern /usr/bin/gcc-4.2 --prefix=/opt/sw/ATLAS --with- 
netlib-lapack-tarfile=/home/dwf/tmp/lapack-lite-3.1.1.tgz -Fa alg - 
fPIC -D c -DPentiumCPS=2668 -t 4 -b 64

I tried a few different things, including building dylibs, in which  
case I get an undefined symbol error for ATL__zttrsm.

Any help would be appreciated. To be honest I'm not sure why  
lapack_lite is getting involved at all; I thought that was what got  
used in case of no detected LAPACK, but config definitely does detect  
ATLAS/LAPACK.
