-NumPy is a general-purpose array-processing package designed to efficiently
-manipulate large multi-dimensional arrays of arbitrary records without
-sacrificing too much speed for small multi-dimensional arrays. NumPy is built
-on the Numeric code base and adds features introduced by numarray as well as an
-extended C-API and the ability to create arrays of arbitrary type which also
-makes NumPy suitable for interfacing with general-purpose data-base
-applications.
-
-There are also basic facilities for discrete fourier transform, basic linear
-algebra and random number generation.
-
-If you need to build numpy for debugging, set DEBUG=y. If you use software
-which is having problems with numpy's new relaxed strides checking, set
-NPY_RSC=0.
-
-It is highly recommended to install libraries implementing BLAS and LAPACK
-before installing numpy. You may choose between:
- a) blas and lapack (reference but unoptimized and thus slow)
- b) OpenBLAS (optimized, provides LAPACK too)
- c) atlas and lapack (optimized), good to read README.ATLAS
-All these are available on SlackBuilds.org.
-
-If you want to use the UMFPACK library instead of SuperLU to solve unsymmetric
-sparse linear systems, then run this Slackbuild with NO_UMFPACK set to "no"
-and then install scikit-umfpack on top of scipy. In this context, umfpack is an
-optional dependency for numpy. Nevertheless, note that presently scikit-umfpack
-is not available on SlackBuilds.org.
-
-NOTE: If you use this SlackBuild, numpy will run with the python version
- provided by Slackware Linux, which is presently 2.7.xx. If you'd like to
- use python 3.x then you have to install the numpy3 SlackBuild.
-
-IMPORTANT: The version installed by this SlackBuild does NOT include the
- oldnumeric and numarray compatibility modules since starting with
- version 1.9.0 these modules got removed by the numpy developers.
- If you need these compatibility modules please consider the
- numpy-legacy SlackBuild.
- THUS: This SlackBuild conflicts with the numpy-legacy SlackBuild
- which installs versions < 1.9.0!
