Hi, Congratulations to the new release! After a quick setup.py install on my amd64 Debian I have a few comments - found maybe a bug:
I have a ~/.pydistutils.cfg file: sha...@iris:~/qq/sympy-0.6.6: cat ~/.pydistutils.cfg [install] #install_lib = ~/sebPy/py-lib install_lib = ~/sebPy/lib install_scripts = ~/sebPy/bin but I get this error message at the very end of setup.py install: running install_data copying doc/man/isympy.1 -> /usr/share/man/man1 error: /usr/share/man/man1/isympy.1: Permission denied is this a bug or a miss-configuaration on my side !? Also I noticed that sympy installs into the bin directory (besides isympy): ~/sebPy/bin/test ~/sebPy/bin/doctest Are those quite "generic" names for a (global) bin directory !?
