Okay, don't do that. You will have to actually install Python to another location. For example, make a directory ~/python2.5/. Now go to the Python source directory; it would probably be best to start with a clean one. Configure Python using ~/python2.5 as the prefix: $ ./configure --prefix=~/python2.5 Now "make" and "make install". Add ~/python2.5/bin to your $PATH, preferably before /usr/bin or wherever the old python executable is. Build and install numpy using the ~/python2.5/bin/python binary. You should not need to set the --prefix. -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
