[Numpy-discussion] Question about external libraries and ATLAS

[Darren D. <dd...@co...>]

We are having a discussion on the gentoo-science mailing list about linking 
Numeric and SciPy to external BLAS, LAPACK and ATLAS libraries. Can anyone 
tell me, is it necessary to include atlas in the library list at compile time 
in order to reap the rewards of atlas? Does Numeric use the atlas libraries 
directly, or indirectly through the blas and lapack libraries?

Thanks,
Darren
