Thanks David Is there a time line for scipy 0.7.1? Shawn -----Original Message----- From: scipy-user-bounces@scipy.org on behalf of David Cournapeau Sent: Tue 5/5/2009 10:08 PM To: SciPy Users List Subject: Re: [SciPy-user] when will scipy win32 for Python2.6 be ready Shawn GONG wrote:

hi,

I am running Python2.6 and MS VS 2005 on Windows XP. I'd like to use scipy. When will scipy binary install for Python2.6 be ready?

Hopefully, scipy 0.7.1 will have a python 2.6 binary.

I tried to run "python setup.py install", but got error message saying: numpy.distutils.system_info.BlasNotFoundError: Blas (http://www.netlib.org/blas/) libraries not found. Directories to search for the libraries can be specified in the numpy/distutils/site.cfg file (section [blas]) or by setting the BLAS environment variable.

Yes, you need both BLAS and LAPACK to build scipy by yourself. Building them is a bit difficult on windows, cheers, David _______________________________________________ SciPy-user mailing list SciPy-user@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/scipy-user
