[pymvpa] liblapack.so image not found, OS X

[Yaroslav Halchenko]

sorry about that

we have ran into similar issue and I believe we have it fixed in

    BF: explicitly check for ability to load liblapack.so and not enable test for dgesvd otherwise


and on Debian systems liblapack.so could be obtained via apt-get install
libatlas-base-dev

would you be so kind to check if current master works for you?

since you have already installed it from source it should be very easy,
and ideally done from GIT if you have one available:

git clone git://github.com/PyMVPA/PyMVPA.git
cd PyMVPA

or just download from 
https://github.com/PyMVPA/PyMVPA/downloads
top buttons (Download as .zip , as tar.gz)


as a workaround I believe you could also try creating 
~/.pymvpa2.cfg with

[externals]
have ctypes = no

which should mask out that feature so it would not puke on you

I would appreciate if you report back either current master resolves the
problem for you
