Hello everyone,

This is the first time I am using scipy and I am having much trouble to just install it on my macbook. I am using Python 2.6 and numpy 1.6.0. I downloaded scipy0.9.0 tar.gz file from the web link http://sourceforge.net/projects/scipy/files/scipy/ and tried to install it from the source. But on giving the command

scipy-0.9.0$ python setup.py build

it is always giving the following problem :

I am unable to understand where and what exactly the problem is. Can anyone please help me? I will be really thankful for a response.

That doesn't look like a familiar error message to me. But before trying to get to the root of that a simple question: why don't you just use a binary installer? You can download dmg installers for python itself from python.organd for numpy and scipy from the Sourceforge download sites. Ralf

I think just by following all the installment procedure you could easily get installed it. You have to just follow all the steps correctly. You should also take care of it that you shouldn't skip any step. -------------------------------------------------------------- Get the best http://therepairstop.com/ HTC glass replacement | http://therepairstop.com/ iMac Glass replacement -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Problem-with-Installation-of-Scipy-on-Macbook-tp335374...
