Description Yariv Ido 2004-09-14 11:45:58 UTC

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

Comment 1 Curzio Basso 2004-09-20 04:41:21 UTC

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)?
