[yt-users] SciPy

[John ZuHone]

Hi all,

Has anyone successfully installed SciPy on a 64bit Linux machine with the ATLAS/LAPACK libraries? I'm having lots of trouble with errors like these:

ld: liblapack.a(second_INT_CPU_TIME.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
liblapack.a(second_INT_CPU_TIME.o): could not read symbols: Bad value

The forums I've browsed say that some files in LAPACK don't get compiled with fPIC, even when specified in the Makefile, and must be compiled manually, which I have done, but this does not change anything.

I need to build it from source so I can use it with yt.

Best,

John ZuHone
