Scipy install

[Maarten van Reeuwijk]

I am trying to install scipy on an SGI Altix 3700 system, but I cannot
convince the distutils installer that BLAS and LAPACK are already there and
that I don't need ATLAS because everything's optimized already. I tried
modifying the site.cfg to tell where the libraries are located:
....
[lapack]
library_dirs = /usr/local/opt/scs_beta/lib
lapack_libs = scs

[lapack_src]
# src_dirs = ..

[blas]
library_dirs = /usr/local/opt/scs_beta/lib
blas_libs = scs
....

The installer complains that it cannot locate the sources, but I only want
scipy to use the libraries. Any ideas on how to fix this?

TIA, Maarten

Ask on scipy-users and provide the full output from running
"python setup.py", please.
