[SciPy-user] Problem installing scipy 0.6.0 on PPC OS X 10.5 Leopard.

[Daniel Yarlett]

here's what i get when i type "python -c "import sys; print sys.path":
['', '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/ 
python25.zip', '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/ 
python2.5', '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/ 
python2.5/plat-darwin', '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/ 
2.5/lib/python2.5/plat-mac', '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/ 
Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/plat-mac/lib-scriptpackages', '/Library/ 
Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/lib-tk', '/ 
Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/lib- 
dynload', '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/ 
python2.5/site-packages']
i don't see anything of the form */Extras/* in there, although site- 
packages is the last in the path.

but when i run my default version of python and import numpy i get  
version 1.0.4, which is the latest one i installed, and probably isn't  
the default version that comes with leopard:

ramscar-lab5:~ yarlett$ python -c "import numpy; print  
numpy.__version__"
1.0.4

i can try setting $PYTHONPATH if you still think that might help. if  
so i'd appreciate it if you could let me know what i should set it to.

thanks for the speedy response!

dan.
