Hi Victor, To answer your first question, yes, the MCP option is available for use. So we're good there. As for SciPy, things get a little hairy. When I ask QGIS to import SciPy I get the following read-out:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "<input>", line 1, in <module> File "/Applications/QGIS.app/Contents/MacOS/../Resources/python/qgis/utils.py", line 309, in _import mod = _builtin_import(name, globals, locals, fromlist, level) ImportError: No module named scipy I assume this means I don't have the SciPy package installed in the correct folder. I know this sounds super basic, but can you tell me how I should install SciPy so that QGIS can read it? I just don't want to screw up my entire QGIS program on accident. I have downloaded the SciPy 0.11.0 version but Jorge, you thought that there was an issue with the plugin requiring the 0.12 version yes? Should I give the 0.11.0 version a shot with any instructions that you might provide or should I just try to install the 0.12 version. Should I also plan to download the Numpy package as well? Also, I did attempt your other fix of checking and unchecking the options box in Sextante and it doesn't make the KDE option appear unfortunately. Thanks again guys, I really appreciate it and so do the rhinos!
