I would like to use the sunperf libraries when compiling scipy and numpy. I tried using setupscons.py which seems to check from SUNPERF libraries, but it didnt recognize where mine are: here is a listing of /pkg/linux/SS12/sunstudio12.1 (thats where the sunperf library lives):

wkerzend@mosura:/home/wkerzend>ls /pkg/linux/SS12/sunstudio12.1/lib/
CCios/            libdbx_agent.so@    libsunperf.so.3@
amd64/            libfcollector.so@   libtha.so@
collector.jar@        libfsu.so@        libtha.so.1@
dbxrc@            libfsu.so.1@        locale/
debugging.so@        libfui.so@        make.rules@
er.rc@            libfui.so.1@        rw7/
libblacs_openmpi.so@    librtc.so@        sse2/
libblacs_openmpi.so.1@    libscalapack.so@    stlport4/
libcollectorAPI.so@    libscalapack.so.1@  svr4.make.rules@
libcollectorAPI.so.1@    libsunperf.so@        tools_svc_mgr@

I tried to specify this directory in sites.cfg, but I still get the following errors:

error: Error while executing scons command. See above for more information.

If you think it is a problem in numscons, you can also try executing the scons
command with --log-level option for more detailed output of what numscons is
doing, for example --log-level=0; the lowest the level is, the more detailed
the output it.-----

any help is appreciated
