I built Numpy with the MKL libraries from Intel (a difficult process for me, it took my whole day!). Numpy needs to be linked to the MKL library with the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable, or at least this is the way I do it... So I use export in .bashrc to save the path and when I start a new console and run python, Numpy is correctly loaded with the libraries. The problem is that it does not work with Eclipse which I use with Pydev to develop my programs. I still can add LD_LIBRARY_PATH somewhere in the preferences of Eclipse but the issue becomes real when I try to install Scipy. The installation script of Scipy needs to import Numpy and even when LD_LIBRARY_PATH is correctly set, I still have an error with the MKL libraries that cannot be imported: <pre><code>$ sudo python setup.py install Traceback (most recent call last): File "setup.py", line 208, in <module> setup_package() File "setup.py", line 145, in setup_package from numpy.distutils.core import setup File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/numpy/__init__.py", line 137, in <module> import add_newdocs File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/numpy/add_newdocs.py", line 9, in <module> from numpy.lib import add_newdoc File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/numpy/lib/__init__.py", line 4, in <module> from type_check import * File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/numpy/lib/type_check.py", line 8, in <module> import numpy.core.numeric as _nx File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/numpy/core/__init__.py", line 5, in <module> import multiarray ImportError: libimf.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory </code></pre> libimf.so is one of the shared libraries of MKL that I have to link. Apart from directly modifying the <code>__init__.py</code> file of Numpy (which I rather avoid because there may be a cleaner way to do that) I don't know what to do to permanently link Numpy to the MKL libraries. Thanks for your help!
