I am not sure if this is the right forum to ask this. If it is not, could someone pleas point me to a more appropriate newsgroup.
I am attempting to install dap.plugins.netcdf using easy_install on HP-UX 11. As a user, I do not have access to root so have followed the easy_install recommendation to set up a "virtual" python, as described at http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall#creating-a-virtual-python and this is mostly working well. One of the dependencies, numpy is already installed, but easy_install does not detect this, and tries to install numpy, which fails with many compilation errors. (numerous pointer type mismatches, undeclared functions like rintf that do not exist on HP, ...) I could try to install numpy myself from the tar.gz file, but this seems pointless since it is already installed. Is there any way to tell easy_install that numpy is installed, while still installing any other dependencies ? Would the best option be to just use the --no-deps option and see if it works ?
