[Visualpython-users] numarray? Numpy? Slackware 10?

[Eric A. <Ay...@ma...>]

Anyone here successfully install VPython on Slackware 10? So far I'm  
stuck at installing Numeric (23.7), which gives me an error about  
"cannot find -llapack" at the "python setup.py install" step.

I can install numarray fine, but visual-3.0.3/configure still wants  
numeric... Is it possible to run vpython with numarray instead of  
numeric? If so, how do I go about changing the configure file? Would  
more changes be required? (probably!)

Or should I keep trying to get numeric installed? Any suggestions?  
Here's where the numeric install fails:
...
building 'lapack_lite' extension
gcc -pthread -shared build/temp.linux-i686-2.3/Src/lapack_litemodule.o
-L/usr/lib/atlas -llapack -lcblas -lf77blas -latlas -lg2c -o
build/lib.linux-i686-2.3/lapack_lite.so
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-slackware-linux/3.3.4/../../../../i486-slackware- 
linux/bin/ld:
cannot find -llapack
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

Thanks for any help you can offer.
