I have a cvxopt package in my spkgs directory that does not raise an error
when doing
sage: from cvxopt.base import *
The problem is that on linux libf95.a must be linked in, but its located
in the local/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.0.3
and I had to add that directory to the path to link it in (of course the
path is different on 64 bit).
On OSX everything works fine for some reason.
Note -- in addition to using the package above, there must be a doctest
added to the core SAGE library that does
sage: from cvxopt.base import *
just to make sure the fix works on our architectures.
Likewise,
from scipy.optimize import *
should be a doctest.
