You're looking at the stack part, and the preferred method to install that stack is a Python distribution. If you look at the library part, the binary installers are at the top of the page: http://www.scipy.org/scipylib/download.html Cheers, Ralf > -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 >
