Installing from egg ?
Because I'm a glutton for punishment, I'm starting to install things using easy_install. I'm very new at this, and it's not going well. python 2.5 / WinXP (and Kubuntu, but we'll start with Windows) if I type easy_install numpy stuff downloads, but stops with a prompt to select a compiler by passing -c xxxxx to setup.py. I have Mingw installed, and atlas binaries, and have no trouble building numpy from svn the old fashioned way. Is the behavior up to now expected? How do I pass -c to setup.py via easy_install (misnamed, imho. maybe mho will chage with time) regards, gary

Yes. You always have to specify mingw32 somewhere if you want to use that compiler. If you ever got numpy to compile with mingw32, you were specifying it some way.

Do you have a pydistutils.cfg file? http://docs.python.org/inst/config-syntax.html Adding this section to it will tell it to use mingw always without prompting the command line. [build_ext] compiler = mingw32 As for configuring ATLAS, you can make a file .numpy-site.cfg in your home directory. I haven't tested this on Windows, though, but if your HOME environment variable is defined, then %HOME%\.numpy-site.cfg should work. It's just a regular site.cfg file as usual. -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco
