Install supporting packages¶
Install any missing prerequisite supporting packages by
following the instructions for your specific Linux distribution.
For example, SUSE users can use YaST to install them; RedHat and CentOS users can use
yum.
Required supporting packages:¶
| Name: | Download site: | yum package name | SuSE rpm name |
|---|---|---|---|
| Python 2.4 or newer | http://www.python.org | python | python-devel |
| wxPython 2.5.2.8 or newer | http://www.wxpython.org | wxPython | python-wxGTK |
| MySQL Python client 1.2 or newer | http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysql-python | MySQL-python | python-mysql |
| Python Imaging Library (PIL) 1.1.4 or newer | http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/ | python-imaging | python-imaging |
| Python XML module 0.8.3 or newer | http://pyxml.sourceforge.net | PyXML | python-xml |
| NumPy 1.0.1 or newer | http://www.scipy.org | numpy | numpy |
| SciPy 0.5.1 (tested, others may work)* | http://www.scipy.org , http://repos.opensuse.org/science * | scipy | python-scipy |
*SciPy may not build properly on some versions of SuSE due to an incompatible LAPACK
package that comes with SuSE. You can get scipy as well as a compatible LAPACK etc. from
http://repos.opensuse.org/science (need to specify your SuSE version and machine
etc.)
You can test your numpy and scipy install with their build in test functions:
python -c 'import numpy; numpy.test(level=1)' python -c 'import scipy; scipy.test(level=1)'
