[SciPy-User] scipy test error: undefined symbol: ATL_buildinfo

[Sergio Rojas]

Hello guys,

 After struggling for a while, I just finished the installation
 of scipy using the intel mkl library.

 Ungracefully the tests ended with an error regarding
 "undefined symbol: ATL_buildinfo" (see below)

 Can this scipy installation live with this error? or
 Is it prone to throw out wrong computations?

 Also, why the number of ran test is not a fix number
 (running the tests using a scipy/Atlas installation
 finished succesfully indicating: Ran 5832 tests in 422.155s
 OK (KNOWNFAIL=14, SKIP=42), but the scipy/mkl tests ended with
 Ran 5833 tests in 448.386s FAILED (KNOWNFAIL=14, SKIP=34, errors=1))?

 what is the meaning of KNOWNFAIL=14?

 Sergio
