    debian compiling python not-root-user dynamic-linking
    I want to install a certain (non-public, numerical) python module on a remote (Debian squeeze) system on which I do not have root (or sudo) privileges. As the python-dev package was not installed, I compiled and locally installed python 2.7 (using ./configure –prefix=$HOME/rt). I similarly installed numpy, scipy and tinyarray by using the –user option of setup.py, as these are required. Afterwards, I installed the module, which did not present any problems. However, upon importing the module in python, I get the following message:RuntimeWarning: The installed SciPy does not use UMFPACK. Instead, SciPy will use the version of SuperLu it is shipped with. Performance can be very poor in this case.Indeed the performance turned out to be poor. Upon some further research it turned out that the module supports use of both umfpack and MUMPS. Both would be acceptable, but on different system, I found MUMPS to have slightly better performance. I have had no success with installing either. Regarding umfpack, I did not find any information on how to install it other than a scipack for scipy which does not seem to exist anymore.So I attempted to install MUMPS.from the INSTALL file of the module:Build configu
