Maybe the following will also be useful... Recall that I completely deleted numpy and scipy and reinstalled each from their respective superpacks, then ran:
import numpy; numpy.__file__ 'D:\\Programs\\Python25\\lib\\site-packages\\numpy\\__init__.pyc'
import scipy; scipy.__file__ 'D:\\Programs\\Python25\\lib\\site-packages\\scipy\\__init__.pyc'
At this stage, you're *done*. Everything is installed, you don't have to do anything anymore. I am sorry if the following is obvious, but that's the only explanation I can make: there are two ways to install open source softwares - from sources, or from binary installers. By using the superpack, you are using the later - using setup.py implied the former. So what you end up doing is to try building the software from the binary - which does not make sense. It may not look like it at this point, but you are making things much more complicate than they really are :) After the super pack executions, you have run the installers successfully, so everything is installed, without any further step to follow. cheers, David
