Anyone know how to get SciPy on MacBook Pro Intel
I just got a nice shiny MacBook Pro with the Intel chip. It looks like a nice and slick piece of hardware. Besides the ugly issues of fat-binaries, fink vs. darwinports, etc. it looks like g77 has not been ported to the Mac Intel. I've heard reports that gfortran does not work for SciPy. I was able to get the sources to compile but then had linking errors on import (is that the usual behavior other people see). Anyway, I've played with it too long. I'd hate to see my macbook pro go under-utilized because I can't get SciPy working on it. -Travis

Just to be clear. Are you suggesting dual booting? Yes, that is certainly a possibility (and may be what I end up doing). But, there are nice MAC applications that would be nice to run. -Travis

Then it sounds like dual booting is best for you. (It is also possible to run both operating systems simultaneously.) Installation is still a bit of an earlier-adopter affair. Here are some resources: http://desrt.mcmaster.ca/macbook.xhtml http://www.mactel-linux.org/wiki/Main_Page (I plan to buy the low-end MacBook, so I haven't tried any of this yet.)
i'd recommend using parallels instead of dual booting, i run ubuntu on a macbookpro for some linux specific development running ubuntu, it works well and is nicely performant, in fact it generates much nicer pystones then osx (49k vs. 36k), and its easy to manage, if you something like virtuedesktops, you can have it fullscreen and a keystroke away between switching from mac to linux. the one caveat as applies to some scipy visualization, is opengl performance is all going to be software. if thats a major factor, then dual booting is probably best. http://www.parallels.com/ http://virtuedesktops.info/ hth, kapil Travis Oliphant wrote:

Travis: One option is fink (http://fink.sf.net). 'fink install scipy-py24' will get you python 2.4 with numpy and scipy (built with g95). -Jeff p.s. If you go that route and have problems, let me know - I'm the maintainer of the fink scipy package. -- Jeffrey S.
