I'm still playing with this, when I have a few minutes to spare, trying to get it to install on FC4. I'm following the instructions in the unpacked .tar.gz, but have hit the following: File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/numpy/distutils/misc_util.py", line 529, in _get_configuration_from_setup_py config = setup_module.configuration(*args) File "Lib/integrate/setup.py", line 11, in configuration blas_opt = get_info('blas_opt',notfound_action=2) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/numpy/distutils/system_info.py", line 244, in get_info return cl().get_info(notfound_action) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/numpy/distutils/system_info.py", line 385, in get_info raise self.notfounderror,self.notfounderror.__doc__ numpy.distutils.system_info.NotFoundError: Some third-party program or library is not found. blas_opt is from liblapack, I understand, so slocate liblapack /usr/lib/atlas/liblapack.so.3.0 /usr/lib/atlas/liblapack_atlas.so.3 /usr/lib/atlas/liblapack.so.3 /usr/lib/atlas/liblapack_atlas.so.3.0 that seems to be available. And slocate system_info /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/numpy/distutils/system_info.pyo /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/numpy/distutils/system_info.pyc /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/numpy/distutils/system_info.py that seems ti be where it is expected. Any hints, please? Anne
