Now I would like to install new scipy.
What should be done prior to a new installation since old scipy and new scipy core do not work together
rm -rf /usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/scipy_base/ rm -rf /usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/scipy rm -rf /usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/scipy_distutils/
You will also want to remove the f2py package and its script as scipy.f2py replaces it. weave, too, although that is less likely to get in the way.
And how do I get the new scipy ?
svn co http://svn.scipy.org/svn/scipy/trunk scipy svn ???
No, that's still the old scipy. The new scipy_core and scipy in general are being developed on branches at the moment. As has been explained in the various announcement emails:
# for scipy_core: svn co http://svn.scipy.org/svn/scipy_core/branches/newcore/ cd newcore python setup.py install cd ..
# for the new scipy: svn co http://svn.scipy.org/svn/scipy/branches/newscipy/
We are in the process of porting the rest of scipy to the new scipy_core, so the latter tree doesn't build anything useful, yet. Contributions are welcome. In another email, Pearu has briefly outlined some basic information one needs to know about the new scipy.distutils, and there's more documentation on its way. There is a file TOCHANGE.txt that contains a list of things that need to be done to complete the port.
Robert, Thank you very much for your helpful comments. How about /usr/local/include/python2.4/scipy/ ? Nils
