[SciPy-dev] Text relocation errors when compiling Numeric for Solaris 8 x86

[Charles Fultz]

I've followed the instructions here:
http://www.scipy.org/documentation/buildatlas4scipy.txt
for building BLAS, LAPACK and ATLAS.  Everything
seems to go as expected.  No problems or errors.

However, when I go to build Numeric and link against
the resultant libraries above, I get several 'Text relocation
remains against symbol' errors.  Here is the top of the
output from running 'python setup.py install':
running install

What am I doing wrong?  I've been working on this for 2
weeks now, using different compile options, and different
compilers, all with similar problems.  I ONLY need the
Numeric module, thats it.

Thanks,
