h1. 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.
h3. Required supporting packages:
|_.Name:|_.Download site:|_.yum package name|_.SuSE rpm name|
|Python 2.4 or newer| "http://www.python.org":http://www.python.org|python|python-devel|
|wxPython 2.5.2.8 or newer| "http://www.wxpython.org":http://www.wxpython.org|wxPython|python-wxGTK|
|MySQL Python client 1.2 or newer| "http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysql-python":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/":http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/|python-imaging|python-imaging|
|Python XML module 0.8.3 or newer| "http://pyxml.sourceforge.net":http://pyxml.sourceforge.net|PyXML|python-xml|
|NumPy 1.0.1 or newer| "http://www.scipy.org":http://www.scipy.org|numpy|numpy|
|SciPy 0.5.1 (tested, others may work)*| "http://www.scipy.org":http://www.scipy.org , "http://repos.opensuse.org/science":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:
<pre>
python -c 'import numpy; numpy.test(level=1)'
python -c 'import scipy; scipy.test(level=1)'
</pre>
Numpy is more stable should be successful. Expect to see lots of errors with scipy.
