Where could be the problem? Thanks for your help.

Answer 1

It seems that python2-numpy being a beta version in [extra] gives some trouble to cmake. If you don't need the python interface, you can try switching it off in the PKGBUILD (change -Dkst_python=1 to -Dkst_python=0 in the build section). Otherwise, downgrade numpy to stable 1.6.2
