[SciPy-user] BLAS, LAPACK, ATLAS libraries.

[fie.pye at atlas.cz]

Hello.

I would like to install NumPy and SciPy modules. I compiled and install BLAS, LAPACK and ATLAS libraries. After installation and importing NumPy I obtained message:

>>> import numpy
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in 
File "/usr/local/python/python2.5.1/lib/python2.5/site-packages/numpy/__init__.py", line 43, in 
import linalg
File "/usr/local/python/python2.5.1/lib/python2.5/site-packages/numpy/linalg/__init__.py", line 4, in 
from linalg import *
File "/usr/local/python/python2.5.1/lib/python2.5/site-packages/numpy/linalg/linalg.py", line 25, in 
from numpy.linalg import lapack_lite
ImportError: liblapack.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
It seams to me that BLAS and LAPACK installation is OK.

PC: 2x Dual-core Opteron 275
OS: CentOS 5.0, kernel 2.6.18-8.1.6.el5
compiler: gcc version 4.2.0, gfortran
python2.5.1
numpy-1.0.3-2
scipy-0.5.2

Thank you for help.
