Hi,

I have added a new compiler -- pathscale -- and added it to numpy/distutils/fcompiler and edited init.py to add it to the list.

However when I run
% python setup.py config_fc

I get the pathscale compiler recognized but then the setup bypasses and continues and subsequently picks the gfortran, which I don't want.

When I added some verbosity to the above, I noticed this difference between pathscale and gfortran

% python setup.py -v config_fc

Running os.system('( /opt/pathscale/ice9_native_3.2n_B_sicortex/bin/pathf95 -v ; echo $? > /tmp/tmpoXv0XE/VCZd1T ) > /tmp/tmpoXv0XE/yNOdmp 2>&1')
_update_environment(...)
customize PGroupFCompiler
:

with gfortran..

Running os.system('( /.root0/usr/bin/gfortran --version ; echo $? > /tmp/tmpoXv0XE/xX3wVg ) > /tmp/tmpoXv0XE/tQhxpb 2>&1')
_update_environment(...)
exec_command(['/.root0/usr/bin/gfortran', '-Wall', '-ffixed-form', '-fno-second-underscore', '-fPIC', '-O3', '-funroll-loops', '-print-libgcc-file-name'],)
Retaining cwd: /.root0/net/home/avi/builds/numpy-1.2.1
_preserve_environment([])

So it seems to me that it is finding the pathscale compiler but skipping the exec_command.

Any help in resolving this appreciated. I am attaching the log file for the above script run and the pathscale.py files.

Other tidbits on system and os..
