numpy.distutils.system_info.NotFoundError: no lapack/blas resources found

Question

While installing SciPy on PyCharm IDE, I got stuck with the error saying

numpy.distutils.system_info.NotFoundError: no lapack/blas resources found

I have installed correct version of pip. I don't know where went wrong.

Answer 1

Blas and lapack are linear algebra packages which will need to be installed before scipy will work (check the dependencies). For windows 8.1 you may find help on http://icl.cs.utk.edu/lapack-for-windows/lapack/.
