Hi All, Ed Campbell has packaged up Iris and dependencies so that it can be installed from apt-get:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:drescampbell/ppa sudo apt-get install python-iris Does this help with some of the dependency problems? If yes, should we go ahead and update the Iris install script to install from apt-get instead? To what extent should I test with QGIS and Sahana? I haven't seen any problems (including with plugins) in QGIS, but presumably I need to install a plugin that utilises matplotlib now that the system version is at 1.2.0.
