[Numpy-discussion] strange paths on install and some warnings

[Arnd Baecker]

Hi,

for a current svn checkout of numpy and installing with
  python setup.py build
  python setup.py install --prefix=/tmp/NUMPY
this results in an install under:
  $HOME/.PythonLibrary/Python2.3/ ...
(("""copying build/lib.linux-i686-2.3/numpy/_import_tools.py ->
/home/abaecker/.PythonLibrary/Python2.3/site-packages/numpy"""))

Only f2py behaves and gets installed in  /tmp/NUMPY/bin.

First I thought that it has something to do with a setuptools
test I did some time ago, but moving ~/.PythonLibrary
to a different place before installing numpy did not help.
(it was also not on the PYTHONPATH before, so it should not
have made a difference anyway).

Even more weirdly, everything works fine on a different machine.
So it looks like some configuration issue. On the other hand
I did a couple of builds before (some time ago) on this machine.
Before I start looking into this in more detail, I would
be interested in any ideas how the above could come about
and what tests I could do.

In addition to the above I get a couple of warnings/errors (see below).
I am not sure about their relevance (I don't remember to have seen
them before).

Best, Arnd
