[SciPy-dev] scipy / SGI MIPSpro compiler (part 2)

[Steve M. Robbins]

Hi again,

Got stuck in scipy_base/_compiled_base.c with three errors and a
warning.  


cc -O -OPT:Olimit=0 -I/usr/local/unstable/include/python2.1 -c /tmp/smr/scipy/scipy_base/_compiled_base.c -o build/temp.irix64-6.5-2.1/_compiled_base.o

My understanding is that you can't do pointer arithmetic on void*
types.  I changed them to char*, assuming that the strides are given
in bytes.
