Having read about it, I like it. Oh, and the issue with the system numpy in site-packages was that, for some reason, it was *not* world-readable. Fixed that. So, I'm working on trying to install scipy in the virtenv... and for unknown reasons, it simply can't find the system libs. I did this before the last attempt to export LAPACK=/usr/lib64/liblapack.so.3 export BLAS=/usr/lib64/libblas.so.3 and just added export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib64 Still can't find them.
