Hi,

I have installed scipy 10.0 and numpy 1.5.1 on RHEL5. When I run a script, I got the following error:

File "/home/cbl/Research/code/closer/closerv2/closerv2source/getcenter.py", line 5, in<module> from scipy.optimize import leastsq File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/scipy/optimize/__init__.py", line 135, in<module> from nonlin import * File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/scipy/optimize/nonlin.py", line 116, in<module> from scipy.linalg import norm, solve, inv, qr, svd, lstsq, LinAlgError File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/scipy/linalg/__init__.py", line 120, in<module> from decomp_qr import * File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/scipy/linalg/decomp_qr.py", line 7, in<module> import special_matrices File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/scipy/linalg/special_matrices.py", line 4, in<module> from scipy.misc import comb File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/scipy/misc/__init__.py", line 22, in<module> __all__ += common.__all__ NameError: name 'common' is not defined

It works in my other Ubuntu workstation with an older version of numpy and scipy.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Your scipy installation may not be correct so I would suggest reinstalling the existing scipy. Just make sure that /usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/scipy is gone or at least totally empty before you do actually installation. Also: If you installed a scipy package then make sure you got all the correct packages for your system. If you built it from source then first make sure to clean out your build directory. Bruce
