Comment (by michaelld@…):

 a few thoughts / personal opinions:

 * I'm glad you reported this issue, and please don't take my comments here
 personally or as flippant.

 * if NumPy otherwise works for your needs, then that's what matters. If
 NumPy is failing in some critical way, then please report the issue both
 here and to the NumPy folks themselves. The issue might be with MacPorts,
 or it might be with NumPy.

 * Given that this is a runtime issue, I'd advise you -- if you're adamant
 about this part of NumPy working -- to take the issue upstream to the
 NumPy folks themselves. Quite honestly, these sorts of issues are a bit
 beyond us port maintainers' "pay grade". Most of us port maintainers are
 doing MacPorts work pro-bono (for free), so we get to what we can when we
 can.

 * We welcome patches! If you feel compelled to hack on NumPy to fix these
 or other issues, please do so & attach a patch to this ticket & a comment
 about the fix. Again, nothing personal; we do the best we can.
