[SciPy-dev] Building numpy/scipy on RHEL5 OR CentOS5

[Michael Hearne]

Phil et. al. - I believe that you and probably others do not have this 
problem, but I continue to have it.  I just downloaded the most recent 
svn version of scipy and re-attempted the build and install.  The build 
was successful, but the install complained about ufmpack.

I ask again - is there a way to _force_ the scipy build to ignore ufmpack?

I suppose I could just download the damn thing (whatever it is), and 
compile that too...
