What is intyou? An array of what type and shape? Also, what lapack are you
using? Is scipy.linalg.test(1) succesful?

detrend works here:

>>> scipy.signal.detrend(array([1,2,3,4,6,7],'d'),-1,'linear')
array([ 0.23809524,  0.00952381, -0.21904762, -0.44761905,  0.32380952,
0.0952381 ])



Travis, is there any reasons to keep the line #1105 as
            A = ones((Npts,2),'d')
and not
            A = ones((Npts,2),data.typecode())
? Or may be data should be set to 'd' from the beginning? Is detrend
supposed to work with complex input as well?

These questions arised when I used a list of integers as an input to
detrend:
>>> scipy.signal.detrend([1,2,3,4,6,7],-1,'linear')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File
"/home/peterson/opt/lib/python2.2/site-packages/scipy/signal/signaltools.py",
line 1108, in detrend
    newdata[sl] = newdata[sl] - dot(A,coef)
TypeError: Array can not be safely cast to required type
