My name is Patrick Freeman and I'm currently a master's student from Stanford University interning with a conservation research organization in South Africa. I've been tasked with using a database of VHF telemetry data and GPS collar readings from the regional population of black rhinos to develop a working knowledge of their home ranges, home range overlap and habitat usage. The organization here employs QGIS to do all of their map work and thus I've learned how to use the program as much as I can over the past month. However, I'm still completely blind to the workings of Python, etc.
I am desperately trying to get the kernel density estimation tool in the Animove plugin in the Sextante toolbox to work but it simply won't appear. I've read plenty on various different sites that this is a result of a missing SciPy package. I have downloaded the SciPy package for Mac but don't know how to install it properly to my QGIS directory. I'm currently using a Mac OSx (Lion) and I'm working with QGIS 1.8. I *believe* my Python is version 2.7, but I'm not entirely sure how to check it properly (again, I'm new to QGIS and the world of Python). I have spent several weeks combing the Internet for help with this issue to no avail despite there being plenty of information about how to make this plugin work for the Windows version of QGIS. I was wondering if I went straight to the source I could potentially get a little assistance with getting the KDE to be functional for the plugin? Paolo has graciously directed me to this conversation ( http://lists.faunalia.it/pipermail/animov/2013-August/001113.html) but it is again more focused on the Windows installation process. I am just worried that if I try to reinstall a developer version of QGIS that I'll screw up a bunch of the work that I've already done on this project/make my computer implode so I want to make sure what I'm doing is correct. This black rhino project is of urgent importance to the conservation managers in this area given the spike in rhino poaching incidents in the area so I thank you in advance for any and all support!
