sorry if this is boring since I am not a seasoned Linux user. setup.py isn't located at the root, do you mean, execute the command above from root, as to do this :~$ cd / :/$ python setup.py install --prefix=/usr/local or :/$ python home/fred/numpy-0.9.6/setup.py install --pref... or AS root :/# python setup.py install --prefix=/usr/local or :/# python home/fred/numpy-0.9.6/setup.py install --pref... > > By the way, to get NymPy to use the high-performance libraries, you must > install these libraries and the associated -dev packages before running > the Python install. I wish to know the debian names for those packages, my first guess would be refblas3 under testing since blas is not available for debian/testing, there is also refblas3-dev Basic Linear Algebra Subroutines 3, static library which I don't have installed. would refblas3 be all what NymPy need to the high-performance? thanks -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
