Well, now it does uses dgeev, but it's still not found :
ImportError: ld.so.1: python: fatal: relocation error: file
/home/user1/ctcils/poladmin/rla/root/lib/python2.3/site-packages/numpy/linalg/lapack_lite.so:
symbol dgeev: referenced symbol not found

So, the function is just absent from the library?
I set BLAS and LAPACK to libsunperf.a. Should I use a dynamic version
instead?
