[SciPy-user] Absoft Compiler

[Stephen Walton]

Well, a mere four months after the SciPy conference in Pasadena (thanks
all!), I have finally built SciPy.  I include the output of some of the
diagnostic commands after my signature, but to summarize:  I built
LAPACK, ATLAS, and SciPy from source using the Absoft F77 compiler v4.6
and gcc v3.2 on RedHat 8.0.  scipy.test(level=1) fails with the
following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File
"/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/scipy/stats/tests/test_morestats.py",
line 30, in check_basic
    assert_almost_equal(w,0.90047299861907959,7)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/scipy_test/testing.py", line
335, in assert_almost_equal
    assert round(abs(desired - actual),decimal) == 0, msg
AssertionError:
Items are not equal:
DESIRED: 0.90047299861907959
ACTUAL: 0.90047270059585571

There are a couple of additional problems:  the SciPy install didn't
detect that I have the fftw libraries installed (from the RPM), and the
test suite complains up near the top about the lack of a test_matfuncs
module.
