Ok, this really bothered that you had to install sage to use numpy. You don't have to do it since you already wasted quite some time, but I updated a small project of mine that I almost forgot: garnumpy. It is a set of makefiles to build numpy, scipy and all its dependencies (blas, lapack, fftw, etc...) automatically: - It download the tarballs for you. - It installs everything in a configurable directory, so that it is self-contained It is there; http://github.com/cournape/garnumpy/ You can get the sources with git or just the tarball generated by github if you don't have/don't want git. Basic usage: set up main_prefix in the file garnumpy.conf.mk (or keep the default value: it installs in $HOME/garnumpyinstall) cd platform/scipy && make install source startgarnumpy.sh # You now have your env set up for numpy and scipy python -c "import scipy" If you want to remove it, just rm -rf the path set up in main_prefix. cheers, David _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list [email protected] http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
