dev-python/numarray 1.1 was released. Among other things, linear_algebra.mlab.dot() was fixed. Simply renaming numarray-1.0.ebuild to numarray-1.1.ebuild worked for me, as far as I can see. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
numarray gives the option of linking against an existing BLAS/LAPACK library (e.g. ATLAS) rather than building its own, by setting the environment variable USE_LAPACK. However, $ USE_LAPACK=1 emerge numarray does not directly work because of a bug in the file addons.py (see the thread http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=9524501). Could the aforementioned file be patched so that it uses the right libraries, maybe using the lapack-config program?
Committed 1.1.1 Curzio, I assume lapack support is still of interest? scientific herd: I don't really want to touch lapack stuff. Any interest to take care for numarray and numeric (Bug 36612)?
