Re: [Numpy-discussion] Source install
Thanks Robert, Sorry for the incomplete request for help. The install of numpy seems to go fine, but when I import numpy it reports that it is running from the source directory. I assume this has to do with the BLAS/ATLAS stuff I have been reading about. What I am actually trying to do is get NumPy wrapped in the install of our software program. We currently wrap Python2.4 as our scripting language and I need a way to get numpy in our compiler. The gui portions of our software runs on Windows but the engine works on Unix flavors. I am afraid I am not too knowledgeable about what goes on under the hood of the NumPy install. I assume I need an appropriate C compiler (where gcc fit in for Mac OSX), but I was wondering if there was an appropriate Doc I should closely examine that would point me in the right direction. I hope this clears my question up a bit.

There is no way one can make a platform-independent doc that covers all of the cases. We need to know what you tried and exactly how it failed (i.e., we need you to copy the exact error messages and paste them into an email). If I had to guess, though, since you succeeded doing an install from source on OS X, the problem on Linux is likely that you do not have the appropriate Python development package for your system.

[Numpy-discussion] Source install
Hello all, I have used numpy on both Mac and Windows. The latter is easily installed with the exe file. The former required the gcc program from XCode... but once installed, "python setup.py install" worked. I cant seem to get numpy to work on my linux machine. Can someone point me to a platform-independent doc on how to install from the source tar file?
