I think the instructions on the scipy wiki are pretty thorough: http://scipy.org/Installing_SciPy/Mac_OS_X One thing to note is that I think I've seen on this list that people have been having problems compiling and using num/scipy on Python 2.5 (on any platform (?)) ... I haven't tried it myself, but that's the general feeling I've gotten from some of the emails on that subject. I could be wrong though. Another thing to consider would be to install the "Superpack" which is linked to in the mac section from the scipy downloads page: http://www.scipy.org/Download I also remember seeing on the ML that there were some problems w/ that superpack it not including some config file for ipython or something, but I'm not sure. For what it's worth, I'm using MacPorts (http://macports.org) to manage my python (and a other) installations, and have been compiling scipy/numpy/matplotlib/ipython from svn checkouts every now and again ... this has been working well for me. The version of python you get from macports is 2.4.3 Hope that helps. -steve ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
