Yup, installing the mainstream Slackware package cleared it up. scipy <br>
now builds without a hitch. Thanks for the tip!<br>
<br>
Along the way, the pythran dependency problem went away. Can't figure <br>
out why but it doesn't matter.<br>
<br>
Now I'm stuck at matplotlib:<br>
<br>
ERROR Missing dependencies:<br>
numpy<2.3,>=1.24.4<br>
<br>
The Slackware python-numpy package is v2.3.3. Haven't dug into it too <br>
closely but I wonder if the matplotlib slackbuild needs to be updated <br>
(currently builds matplotlib 3.8.4; upstream is 3.10). Could give it a <br>
try, but does someone know a solution that's closer at hand?<br>
<br>
thanks!<br>
