HI, I resolved the problem, but not in the nicest way.
I found out, by mere coincidence, that I could import tables (from within ipython) in ~/tables-2.1.1/, but not in any other directory. Hence, I copied ~/tables-2.1.1/tables to a library directory included in PYTHONPATH. Now it works. However, I do not quite understand why python setup.py install (as root) did not store pytables in a system-wide correct location. bye Nicky 2009/7/17 nicky van foreest <vanfore...@gmail.com>: > Hi all, > > Installing pytables 2.1.1 on ubuntu fails.
