Hi Robert "Running from numpy source directory" message also appears when I installed numpy. I am running python 2.3.6, not 2.4
You said "It is picking up the partial numpy package in the source". Do you mean it is picking up the partial numpy package from python 2.3.6 ? How do I change out of that directory and try again?

No, it means that you are running from the numpy source directory. That means it is picking up the partial numpy package in the source that's used to bootstrap the installation. Change out of that directory and try again. -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
