How to upgrade SciPy on Fedora 23
As it was with Fedora 22, the Fedora 23 still ships with SciPy version 0.14.1. To upgrade SciPy please run the following commands as root:
dnf install python-pip
dnf install blas-devel
dnf install lapack-devel
dnf install gcc-c++
dnf groupinstall "Development Tools"
If you now try to upgrade scipy you will get the following error
g++: error: /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-hardened-cc1: No such file or directory
On Fedora 23 one has also to install rpm-build to avoid errors during compilation of scipy:
dnf search rpm-build
Finally uninstall scipy 0.14.1, download 0.16.0, compile it and install. All with the following command:
pip install --upgrade scipy
