NotFoundError: no lapack/blas resources found

See original GitHub issue

I’m trying to install scipy. I had a numpy issue (https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues/11317) but with help I got around it.

When I try to install scipy using pip3, I get a “NotFoundError: no lapack/blas resources found” error.

Here’s the stacktrace:

-bash-4.3$ pip3 install scipy

The equivalent for Alpine would be:

apk add gfortran openblas-dev lapack-dev --repository http://dl-3.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/testing/ --allow-untrusted

It solves a similar if not same issue when building scipy from source.
