[Numpy-discussion] A patch to fix a Numeric 24.2 dotblas innerproduct problem

[Janne Sinkkonen]

With Numeric 24.2 one gets the following error:

>>> innerproduct(ones((10,3),Float), ones((10,3),Float))
ldc must be >= MAX(N,1): ldc=3 N=10Parameter 14 to routine cblas_dgemm
was incorrect

It seems to be fixed by the following patch to
Packages/dotblas/dotblas/_dotblas.c :
