Sorry, that is is a bad error message. What I'm pretty sure it means to say is: "numpy requires the Python 2.6 binary from python.org " I looked at this error message ages ago, and It's less trivial to fix that you'd think -- but I thought it had been fixed. > What can I do to persuade numpy to install?

You *may* need the python.org binary, rather than ActiveState, but it looks like you're trying to install a numpy binary for 2.6 -- that's not going to work on 3.* -- look for a binary for 3.* -- I'm not sure it exists, though. NOTE: if you're still confused, tell us exactly what file you are trying to install from, and where you downloaded it from. -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception [email protected] _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list [email protected] http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
