[SciPy-user] Compiling scipy on RHEL 5 x64

[Kenneth Kalan]

I'm having problems compiling scipy on a RHEL 5 64 bit box.  For by 32 bit
boxes, I've used the rpms from Ashigabou Repository.

I've removed the stock blas and lapack.

I've built Atlas, lapack3, refblas3, ufsparse and python-numpy.

versions (from src.rpm):
lapack3-3.0.18.1
python-numpy-1.0.4-3.1
refblas3-3.0.9.1
ufsparse-2.1.1-1-fc6
atlas-3.7.33.8.1


scipy first complained about not finding the umfpack header files.  Fixed
that and here is an excerpt from where it is failing now.

There are several of those error's, this is just the end part of the build.

Any pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks,
