Hey All, Doing my first install on a linux system (Mandrake 8.2 on a PPC). I downloaded the *.tar.gz and unzip/untarred it. I enter the command 'python setup.py install' and get the following error "open '/usr/lib/python2.2/config/Makefile' (No such file or directory)" This is the python that comes with mandrake. I have been able to download and install a new version of python2.2 and sucessfully install Numpy there but I was wondering what I needed to do to get it running in the 'base' python install any pointers ? Cheers Eric

Yes, you need to install the libpython2.2-devel RPM. It contains this file. -- Paul Barrett, PhD Space Telescope Science Institute Phone: 410-338-4475 ESS/Science Software Group FAX: 410-338-4767 Baltimore, MD 21218
