Hi,
for a current svn checkout of numpy and installing with python setup.py build python setup.py install --prefix=/tmp/NUMPY this results in an install under: $HOME/.PythonLibrary/Python2.3/ ... (("""copying build/lib.linux-i686-2.3/numpy/_import_tools.py -> /home/abaecker/.PythonLibrary/Python2.3/site-packages/numpy"""))
Only f2py behaves and gets installed in /tmp/NUMPY/bin.
First I thought that it has something to do with a setuptools test I did some time ago, but moving ~/.PythonLibrary to a different place before installing numpy did not help. (it was also not on the PYTHONPATH before, so it should not have made a difference anyway).
[...] Alright, I found the reason for this, it is related to Easy Install Stuff (still mea culpa). At some point I must have followed http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall#traditional-pythonpath-b... which lead to a file .pydistutils.cfg in my homedirectory with contents: [install] install_lib = ~/.PythonLibrary/Python$py_version_short/site-packages prefix=~/.PythonLibrary/ #[easy_install] #site-dirs=/usr/local/lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages So it seems that this wins over a ``--prefix=<some_nice_path>``. And this is ok, because: """ [...] you can use Distutils configuration files to record personal or site preferences for any Distutils options. That is, any option to any command can be stored in one of two or three (depending on your platform) configuration files, which will be consulted before the command-line is parsed. This means that configuration files will override default values, and the command-line will in turn override configuration files. """ http://docs.python.org/inst/config-syntax.html Obviously, setting up a ~/.pydistutils.cfg is a good way to cause trouble at some later time because it is easily forgotten. The errors below persist... Best, Arnd
In addition to the above I get a couple of warnings/errors (see below). I am not sure about their relevance (I don't remember to have seen them before).
Best, Arnd
