[Numpy-discussion] Numpy compilation error

[Pradeep Jha]

Hi,

I have a few questions:

1)
I downloaded numpy1.3.0 and installed it in a directory using the command
*python setup.py install --prefix=$HOME/src/numpy
*and I see that numpy files have been generated in that directory.

Now when I tried to install matplotlib, it complained that my numpy version
is 1.0.3. When I go in python mode on command line I get the following
output:
*[pradeep at scaramanga ~]$python
Python 2.4.4 (#1, Oct 23 2006, 13:58:00)
[GCC 4.1.1 20061011 (Red Hat 4.1.1-30)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import numpy
>>> print numpy.__version__
1.0.3
*
2)
I donwloaded Scipy.0.7.2 from http://sourceforge.net/projects/scipy/files/
I installed it using
*python setup.py install --prefix=$HOME/src/scipy
*
Again when I goto command line python, I get the following output

*[pradeep at scaramanga ~]$python
Python 2.4.4 (#1, Oct 23 2006, 13:58:00)
[GCC 4.1.1 20061011 (Red Hat 4.1.1-30)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import scipy
/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/scipy/misc/__init__.py:25:
DeprecationWarning: ScipyTest is now called NumpyTest; please update your
code
  test = ScipyTest().test
*
Why isn't my python reading things from the newer installed versions?

Thanks
PRadeep
