hi there.
I'm struggling with a function of numpy. Here it is :
import numpy as NP
mean = NP.array([0,0])
cov = NP.array([[1,0.25],[0.25,1]])
v = NP.random.multivariate_normal(mean,cov)
Quite simple code : it is supposed to generate an array of two random
values taken from a multinormal distribution, with respect to means and
covariance matrix given as parameters.
What happens on my computer is simple : it freezes ! I can't even stop
the process with ctrl-C in my python interpreter i have to kill it from
outside.
I'm running :
- python 2.4.1
- numpy 0.9.8
Well, it's working quite well for me on OS X PPC and Linux AMD-64 with a
reasonably recent SVN checkout of numpy. Did you build numpy yourself, or use a
binary distribution? Windows? Linux? OS X?
Please join us on the numpy mailing list with this information; hopefully there
is someone there with a similar platform who can replicate your bug or offer
better advice than myself.

In the meantime, you might try compiling a recent SVN checkout of numpy and see
if the problem goes away for you.
