Ok thanks, Also, I just ran into another problem with freeimage... First, when I first tried to open a file with the freeimage plugin, it was not found (I assumed it was bundled with skimage). So I apt-get installed libfreeimage3. but the error persisted (i.e. RuntimeError: Could not find the plugin "freeimage" for imread.) After some investigation, I found that I had to link /usr/lib/ libfreeimage.so.3 with /usr/lib/libfreeimage.so to pass the plugin test: sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libfreeimage.so.3 /usr/lib/libfreeimage.so Then the test is ok. Maybe there should be some more flexibility in the search for the shared object, in the _load_library(libname, libdir) function? Putting a regexp somewhere?

First thanks for the great work. I am planning to use skimage for some fluorescence microscopy analysis.

That's great!  We'd love to see what you do once you've got some working examples.

Today I installed from the git repository and an error occurred when compiling:

...

 File "/home/guillaume/Python/lib/scikits-image/skimage/util/ dtype.py", line 20, in <module>  in <module>    np.float16, np.float32, np.float64) AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'float16'

The float16 data-type was introduced in NumPy 1.6, and while we currently list NumPy 1.4 as a dependency, but we're going to have to up that to 1.6 (I think some of it is being used in the data type conversion code now, e.g.).  I hope this isn't too much of an inconvenience!
