What happens if you omit these flags?

Please see my last message to Robert Kern.


If you don't want me to help you, that's fine, then I won't.

I couldn't find an answer to this question in any of your
messages in this thread.

Sorry, I didn't mean to sound dismissive. Perhaps I misunderstood what "these" actually referred to. The results of omitting these flags specifically:

"-lpython2.5 -lpthread -lm -lutil -ldl -shared"

Are posted here for both numpy and scipy:

I have not tried unsetenv'ing $LDFLAGS entirely, an option which did not occur to me given their necessity for just about everything else. If you think that this is a worthwhile experiment, I will run it.

I think I would like to know how to avoid or correct these sort of issues in the future, which seem to be limited, for me at least, to scipy and numpy, with the possible exception of MySQLdb and its dependency on zlib. Ideally, I would like to understand exactly what causes these errors in addition to knowing what I can do to correct them in the future.
