I use fipy on Ubuntu, but I have never tried to install the .deb version. It sounds like you have all the prerequisites. Either use "pip" (which you may have to install as "python-pip" via apt-get) or download the source and install that directly: http://www.ctcms.nist.gov/fipy/INSTALLATION.html
------ It is not necessary to formally install *FiPy* <http://www.ctcms.nist.gov/fipy/documentation/glossary.html#term-fipy>, but if you wish to do so and you are confident that all of the requisite packages have been installed properly, you can install it by typing: $ pip install fipy or by unpacking the archive and typing: $ python setup.py install at the command line in the base *FiPy* <http://www.ctcms.nist.gov/fipy/documentation/glossary.html#term-fipy> directory.
