[SciPy-user] Mac OS X question: using Apple's vecLib

[Andrew Straw]

It appears that Apple has given Mac OS X (10.2) a pre-installed LAPACK 
in the vecLib framework.  (See 
http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/macosx/ReleaseNotes/vecLib.html )  
Apparently, this is a c version of the library (clapack).

Is there any reason why scipy shouldn't use the clapack installed with 
Mac OS X 10.2 rather than ATLAS/LAPACK installed from sources as 
suggested in the scipy docs?

If not, I may try to create a patch for scipy to use Apple's 
pre-installed library.

Cheers!
Andrew
