Hi, again. A bit more information that may help diagnose the problem. I am using the Ubuntu OS(14.04) pre-installed python. I am able to import in my Python shell; numpy, scipy, matplotlib and pysparse. It seems for some reason the fipy debian file can't locate the packages. Currently the debian file is in my user home folder. (The standard directory that typically would show up opening a terminal and using ls). Could it be the location of this file?
