I found that the NumPy regression test error for MKL that was reported a while ago happens with MKL 10.0.3.020, but not with MKL 10.0.1.014 (everything else equal)
Here is a dump of the regression test on my machine with 10.0.3.020 >>> import numpy >>> numpy.test() Numpy is installed in /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/numpy Numpy version 1.1.0 Python version 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Apr 21 2008, 11:12:42) [GCC 4.2.3 (Ubuntu 4.2.3-2ubuntu7)] Found 36/36 tests for numpy.core.tests.test_numerictypes Found 16/16 tests for numpy.core.tests.test_umath Found 3/3 tests for numpy.core.tests.test_memmap Found 7/7 tests for numpy.core.tests.test_scalarmath Found 12/12 tests for numpy.core.tests.test_records Found 286/286 tests for numpy.core.tests.test_multiarray Found 143/143 tests for numpy.core.tests.test_regression Found 2/2 tests for numpy.core.tests.test_ufunc Found 18/18 tests for numpy.core.tests.test_defmatrix Found 3/3 tests for numpy.core.tests.test_errstate Found 70/70 tests for numpy.core.tests.test_numeric Found 63/63 tests for numpy.core.tests.test_unicode Found 4/4 tests for numpy.distutils.tests.test_fcompiler_gnu Found 5/5 tests for numpy.distutils.tests.test_misc_util Found 3/3 tests for numpy.fft.tests.test_helper Found 2/2 tests for numpy.fft.tests.test_fftpack Found 5/5 tests for numpy.lib.tests.test_getlimits Found 15/15 tests for numpy.lib.tests.test_io Found 6/6 tests for numpy.lib.tests.test_index_tricks Found 49/49 tests for numpy.lib.tests.test_shape_base Found 53/53 tests for numpy.lib.tests.test_function_base Found 24/24 tests for numpy.lib.tests.test__datasource Found 4/4 tests for numpy.lib.tests.test_polynomial Found 15/15 tests for numpy.lib.tests.test_twodim_base Found 1/1 tests for numpy.lib.tests.test_regression Found 1/1 tests for numpy.lib.tests.test_financial Found 43/43 tests for numpy.lib.tests.test_type_check Found 1/1 tests for numpy.lib.tests.test_machar Found 1/1 tests for numpy.lib.tests.test_ufunclike Found 10/10 tests for numpy.lib.tests.test_arraysetops Found 89/89 tests for numpy.linalg.tests.test_linalg Found 3/3 tests for numpy.linalg.tests.test_regression Found 36/36 tests for numpy.ma.tests.test_old_ma Found 94/94 tests for numpy.ma.tests.test_core Found 15/15 tests for numpy.ma.tests.test_extras Found 4/4 tests for numpy.ma.tests.test_subclassing Found 17/17 tests for numpy.ma.tests.test_mrecords Found 7/7 tests for numpy.tests.test_random Found 16/16 tests for numpy.testing.tests.test_utils Found 5/5 tests for numpy.tests.test_ctypeslib .......................................................................................................................................................................................................MKL FATAL ERROR: /opt/intel/mkl/10.0.3.020/lib/32//: cannot read file data: Is a directory _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
