scipy build failure

Dear maintainers,

I get build failure when doing
 USE="umfpack fftw" emerge -v scipy

I will appreciate any advice on the matter.

Hello,
	while visiting the gentoo science overlay website I get python errors, which 
disapear when I reload the page, but keeps popping up randomly...

Yes, this is exactly what I have reported some time ago. No progress yet 


By the way, why there is no link to gentooscience.org from 
overlays.gentoo.org? It seems that there is still no regular way to find 
gentooscience.org; only those fortunate few who already know about its 
existence can use it

Hi Davide,

The reason is lack of human resources. I think no one in the Gentoo 
development team is familiar with the NCBI C++ toolkit, so nobody has had any 
particular interest in adding it to Portage. We already have lots of new 
package requests that we try to work on from time to time, but most of our 
time is spent updating existing packages or fixing bugs.

You can help by filing an enhancement request on the Gentoo Bugzilla 
(bugzilla.gentoo.org). It will be assigned to the sci-biology project and 
maybe, eventually, we will have the time to work on it. If you can write an 
ebuild for the package yourself, that would speed up the process 
tremendously.

Cheers,

There are 10 developers (with various degrees of activity) in the gentoo 
science project, but only 3 of them are also members of the gentoo 
sci-biology subproject. Not much considering the number and diversity of 
packages we maintain.

We are always looking for more help. If you are interested, I suggest you 
begin by helping us on Bugzilla. Regular contributors are often invited to 
join the development team.

Then I will definitely have a look at it.

Indeed, and one of them (me) hardly counts as biology. I'm just in there
for structural biology stuff.

Thanks,

I never received an email about the issue, but when I saw the post you made to 
this list I investigated and fixed the issue. I cannot reproduce this issue 
now at all. It is an amd64 Gentoo hardened web server - I will see about 
rebuilding apache, mod_python, trac etc.

Not sure about the links from the overlays.g.o, gentooscience.org was created 
before the overlays think had even been discussed as a solution to a problem. 
It is advertised here, and on the IRC channel but it would be good to get it 
more widely advertised. 

If trac has issues this does not actually effect subversion or overlay 
checkout/updates/use. I am not sure how effective trac really is on an 
ongoing basis.

I do read these lists when I get the time, but I hate to have to tell you guys 
I am swamped in real life writing up my thesis, writing papers and looking 
for a job to pay the bills... My time is severely limited right now and that 
will probably remain so until Xmas, may be November...

Yes. Now there is a link path from www.gentoo.org to overlays.gentoo.org, 
and there is no link path from www.gentoo.org to gentooscience.org. And 
this means that the whole world knows about the overlays at 
overlays.gentoo.org, and nobody (except a few developers subscribed to 
this list) knows about gentooscience.org.

By the way, overlays.gentooscience.org uses trac and works stable.
