I imagine we would have the same problem with the f2c'ed default LAPACK routines we include to support numpy.linalg. I haven't heard of this ever causing a problem. However, if there is a conflict, we can get around it with clever #defines such that the actual symbols in the extension module would be, say, numpy_cblas_dgemm, etc. -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
