Hi, I would like to know a bit about how the installation process works. Could you point me to a resource. In particular I want to know how the site.cfg configuration works. Is it numpy/scipy specific or is it standard with distutils. I googled for site.cfg and distutils but did not find any authoritative document.
I believe many new users trip up on the installation process, especially in trying to substitute their favourite library in place os the standard. So a canonical document explaining the process will be very helpful. http://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy/user/install.html does cover some of the important points but its a bit sketchy, and has a "this is all that you need to know" flavor. Doesnt quite enable the reader to fix his own problems. So a resource that is somewhere in between reading up all the sources that get invoked during the installation and building, and the current install document will be very welcome. English is not my native language, but if there is anyway I can help, I would do so gladly. -- srean
