Numpy installation prob under RH7.3

[Dave Bazell]

Hi,

I recently installed python2.2 on my RH7.3 system.  I want to install scipy.
I followed the steps suggested at the scipy website, but when I try to test
scipy, I get errors.

I installed python 2.2 in /usr/local and created an alias to run it as a
user, the default is an older version of python.  It would appear that numpy
installed, but I am not sure since I didn't test it directly.  Is there a
test suite for numpy?

Here are my outputs.  Any help would be appreciated.

Dave

Welcome to Python 2.2!  This is the online help utility.

If this is your first time using Python, you should definitely check out
the tutorial on the Internet at http://www.python.org/doc/tut/.

Enter the name of any module, keyword, or topic to get help on writing
Python programs and using Python modules.  To quit this help utility and
return to the interpreter, just type "quit".

To get a list of available modules, keywords, or topics, type "modules",
"keywords", or "topics".  Each module also comes with a one-line summary
of what it does; to list the modules whose summaries contain a given word
such as "spam", type "modules spam".

You are now leaving help and returning to the Python interpreter.
If you want to ask for help on a particular object directly from the

has the same effect as typing a particular string at the help> prompt.
