Hi guys, I'm a new user to SciPy, seeking a Python alternative to MatLab. I'm installing on an OS X box and downloaded and installed the SciPy Superpack with SciPy 0.5.2. I noticed that much of the copyright notices said 2001, 2002. Is SciPy still under active development? When running scipy.test(10) I got: Warning: FAILURE importing tests for <module 'scipy.linsolve.umfpack.umfpack' from '...y/linsolve/umfpack/ umfpack.pyc'> Warning: FAILURE importing tests for <module 'scipy.linsolve.umfpack' from '.../linsolve/umfpack/__init__.pyc'> I can import scipy.linsolve and scipy.linsolve.umfpack, though. Should I be worried or not worry about this at all? :-) Cheers Nik

On Linux, I get these warnings too but because I've no UMFPACK installed. As long as you don't plan to use linsolve heavily you should be set up just fine. I don't know much about linsolve because I don't use it myself but the doc says the default solver is from the SuperLU lib in case UMPFPACK isn't found. Which one is better is ahead of my knwoledge, but it's probably UMFPACK ... :) Anyway, development is well underway and the guys are doing a great job. -- cheers, steve Random number generation is the art of producing pure gibberish as quickly as possible.

Just install it somewhere and add the following lines to your numpy site.cfg file before building/installing:
[umfpack] library_dirs = /usr/local/lib (this is the path where libumfpack.a can be found) umfpack_libs = umfpack Then reinstall numpy/scipy. If you've already done it, this extra step should not complicate matters any more. - -Sourish -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iQIVAwUBRZmUwLq7YmsVF20EAQpP9xAAzR2MwpRaXmPBGlhfrmtv6r5Lx+0eudvm 3QNmeFEYDzPwvh9qQ996epbbPNCHrj/cw4LUKCOQ2T9whY1EJl8HqR5BYFMHPUuo c+ppdL72BfJ/rae1P7k+At1LpTZwfx+pLzpczJu/Gmb69r2bIvjScwc6a9fehXKg E+GUXV+0nSPb6LwWQ9yyReAPlboe//DSEJNNJtQBPVAygL2Je1Omyxt1l57UmbDw 0oC9Zxo9lniSjdSGeXbahuzjA/2ahZS37qxuoIYxa5nn1a0gPKTrvAbkaSRQrbU8 W4MsN0hNjOTaNJh6cxZGiR+msYPagl2vRgBCWqWbkKu8nfDgRAHZ8ojwAMx253Z4 EhMTDlRQLFG+RoGlemRY6sKCJfB+FZf2eFIVj2pKnRjxYc1clWWUVk0lcDAQGQal emBZ0Kcc9ccUPIDfHAdtOTcOPtpAC+Zm0QtZyAk5IgHuIFBhjIPxVh6YviKOwPdh OEWq/Asy2kTzsR4STalnshnBCj2STVSTU5VW7oS64ltKbcWyeAfpwzN/nRXvKpO0 jy5zcRMKHAsb2OA01Fehh5KRnYnXWpOoIgwx3XnhxYFlO1M57duFQ0oxUKFCF0GJ YwW462PdIIvCh4vcHbWsyr1dobTQxc7D4zMeMcFwUVe0QiQsOynQ9CLH+gGzF31C /n+Ii79W0Lw= =Dqrb -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
