[Numpy-discussion] Build of current Git HEAD for NumPy fails

[Dirk Ullrich]

Hi,

when trying to build current Git HAED of NumPy with - both for
$PYTHON=python2 or $PYTHON=python3:

$PYTHON setup.py config_fc --fcompiler=gnu95 install --prefix=$WHATEVER

I get the following error - here for PYTHON=python3.2

running build_clib
customize UnixCCompiler
customize UnixCCompiler using build_clib
building 'npymath' library

It seems that `fcompiler's value in line 179 of
`numpy/distutils/command/build_clib.py' is not properly initialized as
an appropriate `fcompiler' object.
