started the ETW VM, had to install some updates (who said Linux doesn’t require as many updates as Windows? It still isn’t as good as VMS, with 2 or 3 a year….at most)
Next, moved the libraries that were created in building LAPACK to a location above the packages, so they can easily be accessed from anywhere during build.
Next give building numpy a try. From the project-root:
$ cd numpy.1.16.3
$ python setup.py config >bldcfg.log 2>bldfg.err
and look at the results: errors because of files that were not found – on their default locations (/usr/lib64). So I need to create site.cfg from the example fila and adjust that to match the locations where the files were put. And check the building docs – on the Internet….
For that, I copies all files I need to examine and adjust to the shared folder so I can do so on the workstation, and pass things over to the VM.
