Problem with 64-bit technology
Added by Anonymous over 19 years ago
Hi,
I am trying to install leginon onto a new Dell Dimension 8400 computer. It has 64-bit technology. So I put all the leginon files under /usr/lib64/site-packages instead of the regular /usr/lib/site-packages. When I start leginon by start-leginon.py, it could not load the numarray. So I tried to import numarray from Python, and got the message: can not open shared object file. I tried to reach you via phone last Friday and today, but didn't get luck. I am wondering if you could give some suggestions?
Thanks.

Liguo,
I just got it to work on our 64 bit machine by doing the following:
Be sure you have the python-devel rpm installed.
For the following four packages, install from the tar.gz archive instead of from rpm:
- numarray
- NumExtension
- pyScop
- Leginon
Download the numarray tar.gz from the numarray website, http://nramm/software/leginon/
For each of the four packages, unpack it and install it using its setup.py script:
python setup.py install
This should install it in the proper place for your current python installation. For 64 bit machine, this would be /usr/lib64/python/site-packages)
I only tested this to the point of running start-leginon.py and that started up with no problems. I have not done an extensive test to see if a complte run of the MSI application works, so let me know if you have any trouble.
