Applicable Installed Ports:
atlas-3.6.0,1 Automatically Tuned Linear Algebra Software (ATLAS)
py23-scipy-0.3 Scientific tools for Python
<machine, os, target, libraries (multiple lines)>
>Description:
In FreeBSD, the atlas libraries have a slightly different naming convention
than that expected by SciPy. In particular,
the threaded versions of the libraries end in "_r", which SciPy does not
expect. Thus, it links against the wrong
libraries. When you use the SciPy libraries, they throw an ImportError
reporting that they are unable to find symbols
they need.
I have seen two such errors:
ImportError: /usr/local/lib/libptf77blas.so.1: Undefined symbol
"ATL_cpttrsm"
when using the optimize package, and then, after a fix was applied for the
above,
ImportError: /usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages/scipy/linalg/clapack.so:
Undefined symbol "clapack_sgesv"
when using the linear algebra package.
>How-To-Repeat:
Build and install the science/scipy port.
Run python and type in the commands:
from scipy.optimize.optimize import *
fmin_bfgs
ImportError: /usr/local/lib/libptf77blas.so.1: Undefined symbol "ATL_cpttrsm"
>Fix:
Before building the port, change the file
scipy_core/scipy_distutils/system_info.py so that
lines 547-549, which formally read
atlas_libs = self.get_libs('atlas_libs',
self._lib_names + ['atlas'])
lapack_libs = self.get_libs('lapack_libs',['lapack'])
now read
atlas_libs = self.get_libs('atlas_libs',
self._lib_names + ['atlas_r'])
lapack_libs = self.get_libs('lapack_libs',['alapack_r'])
(I changed the names of the libraries slightly: 'atlas'->'atlas_r' and
'lapack'->'alapack_r'.)
A patch has been included which does this automatically. It can just be
dropped directly into the
"files/" directory in the science/py-scipy port.
