yes from source

i am using the system version, /usr/lib  The FAQ states that the  
srotmg error is a BLAS
error and that I should install from netlib which I did.

I didn't see any other LAPACK errors but of course they may be  
obscured by the blas
error.

Sure:


 >>> scipy.show_config()
blas_info:
     libraries = ['blas']
     library_dirs = ['/usr/local/lib']
     language = f77

lapack_info:
     libraries = ['lapack']
     library_dirs = ['/usr/lib']
     language = f77

atlas_threads_info:
   NOT AVAILABLE

blas_opt_info:
     libraries = ['blas']
     library_dirs = ['/usr/local/lib']
     language = f77
     define_macros = [('NO_ATLAS_INFO', 1)]

atlas_blas_threads_info:
   NOT AVAILABLE

umfpack_info:
   NOT AVAILABLE

lapack_opt_info:
     libraries = ['lapack', 'blas']
     library_dirs = ['/usr/lib', '/usr/local/lib']
     language = f77
     define_macros = [('NO_ATLAS_INFO', 1)]

atlas_info:
   NOT AVAILABLE

lapack_mkl_info:
   NOT AVAILABLE

blas_mkl_info:
   NOT AVAILABLE

atlas_blas_info:
   NOT AVAILABLE

mkl_info:
   NOT AVAILABLE



so it's picking up the /usr/local/lib   version of blas that I installed


 >>> numpy.show_config()
blas_info:
     libraries = ['blas']
     library_dirs = ['/usr/lib']
     language = f77

lapack_info:
     libraries = ['lapack']
     library_dirs = ['/usr/lib']
     language = f77

atlas_threads_info:
   NOT AVAILABLE

blas_opt_info:
     libraries = ['blas']
     library_dirs = ['/usr/lib']
     language = f77
     define_macros = [('NO_ATLAS_INFO', 1)]

atlas_blas_threads_info:
   NOT AVAILABLE

lapack_opt_info:
     libraries = ['lapack', 'blas']
     library_dirs = ['/usr/lib']
     language = f77
     define_macros = [('NO_ATLAS_INFO', 1)]

atlas_info:
   NOT AVAILABLE

lapack_mkl_info:
   NOT AVAILABLE

blas_mkl_info:
   NOT AVAILABLE

atlas_blas_info:
   NOT AVAILABLE

mkl_info:
   NOT AVAILABLE



This was built prior to scipy and uses the /usr/lib  versions.


numpy passes all of its internal tests and I assume
scipy can utilize whatever functional installation is present ?




thanks
