(Right?) If they already have dependencies, and can easily install blas/lapack, then it is indeed relatively easy. Incidentally, I am working on a system to build a complete self-contained numpy/scipy from sources, including LAPACK/BLAS/ATLAS if necessary, for reasons similar to you. On linux at least, I still think source distribution is the most reliable (compiler version mismatch, etc... makes it really difficult to distribute binaries across several distributions). > On the other hand, for Mac users (whose computers by default don't > have the dev tools, and even then would need to get a fortran > compiler elsewhere) I'd like to figure out something a bit easier. > I don't know much about Mac OS X, but PyMC distributes binaries for intel and ppc Mac in a way similar to what you are looking for:
http://trichech.us/?page_id=3 Unfortunately, the build scripts are not included in the sources, but maybe the author of PyMC can give you some hints ? cheers, David _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
