Jack, Since you don't have admin privileges, I'm going to emphatically recommend that you use AnacondaCE. Sine you're on RedHat, it's as simple as: $ curl http://09c8d0b2229f813c1b93-c95ac804525aac4b6dba79b00b39d1d3.r79.cf1.rackcdn.com/AnacondaCE-1.1-linux.sh > anaconda.sh $ bash anaconda.sh Follow the prompts and you're done with a lot more than just Numpy. -paul _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
