I have been trying to install Scipy for the last few days. I run Mandrake 10, and when I run the command: python setup.py build I get the following error: In file included from /usr/include/python2.3/Python.h:8, from Lib/cluster/src/vq_wrap.cpp:176: /usr/include/python2.3/pyconfig.h:847:1: warning: "_POSIX_C_SOURCE" redefined In file included from /usr/include/string.h:26, from Lib/cluster/src/vq_wrap.cpp:27: /usr/include/features.h:131:1: warning: this is the location of the previous definition In file included from Lib/cluster/src/vq_wrap.cpp:499: Lib/cluster/src/vq.h:57:7: warning: no newline at end of file Lib/cluster/src/vq_wrap.cpp:563:33: Numeric/arrayobject.h: No such file or directory Lib/cluster/src/vq_wrap.cpp:686: error: syntax error before `*' token Lib/cluster/src/vq_wrap.cpp:690: error: `basetype_string' was not declared in this scope This is just the first few lines. I think the line that is the most important is this one: Lib/cluster/src/vq_wrap.cpp:563:33: Numeric/arrayobject.h: No such file or directory Like I said, I have been trying to build/install for a few days now. I knew when I was altering the source that maybe something was wrong. Can anyone help? I need to get this running for an assignment, and still have to learn Python. The website said that I should include the following info: Platform : posix linux2 uname -a : Linux <my hostname> 2.6.3-7mdk #1 Wed Mar 17 15:56:42 CET 2004 i686 unknown unknown GNU/Linux gcc -v : Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i586-mandrake-linux-gnu/3.3.2/specs Configured with: ../configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib --with-slibdir=/lib --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix --disable-checking --enable-long-long --enable-__cxa_atexit --enable-clocale=gnu --enable-languages=c,c++,ada,f77,objc,java,pascal --host=i586-mandrake-linux-gnu --with-system-zlib Thread model: posix gcc version 3.3.2 (Mandrake Linux 10.0 3.3.2-6mdk) g77 --version : GNU Fortran (GCC) 3.3.2 (Mandrake Linux 10.0 3.3.2-6mdk) Copyright (C) 2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
