[SciPy-user] Install failure of SciPy

[Jeffrey B. Layton]

Hello again,

  Thanks for the quick response in fixing (correct word?)
SciPy so I could install it. I downloaded the latest source
(SciPy-0.2.0_alpha_144.4350) and started the build process,

/usr/bin/python2.2 setup.py install

It got further than last time. It died looking for a g2c library:

gcc -DNDEBUG -g -O3 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -fPIC 
-I/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/f2py2e/src -I/usr/include/python2.2 
-c build/temp.linux-i686-2.2/fblasmodule.c -o 
build/temp.linux-i686-2.2/fblasmodule.o -O2 -malign-double 
-fomit-frame-pointer
ifc -shared build/temp.linux-i686-2.2/fortranobject.o 
build/temp.linux-i686-2.2/fblasmodule.o -L/usr/local/lib/atlas

-L/home/laytonj/local/gcc-3.1.1/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.1.1 
-lfblas -llapack -lf77blas -lcblas -latlas -lg2c -o 
build/lib.linux-i686-2.2/scipy/linalg/fblas.so
ld: cannot find -lg2c
error: command 'ifc' failed with exit status 1


I'm not sure what g2c is.
   Also, is there a way to specify the particular gcc to use
for the build process? I built ATLAS with gcc-3.1.1 that
I built in my home directory.

TIA!
