Hi,
NumPy looks like the way to get computation done in Python. Now I'm
going through the learning curve of installing the module into
different linux OS's and Python versions. An extra need is to install
google code's h5py http://code.google.com/p/h5py/ which depends on numpy.
In trying a number of Python versions the 2.x's are yielding the
message " invalid Python installation"
---------------
raise DistutilsPlatformError(my_msg)
distutils.errors.DistutilsPlatformError: invalid Python installation:
unable to open
/home/roger/Python-2.6.6/dist/lib/python2.6/config/Makefile (No such
file or directory)

From reading on the web it appears a Python-2.x.x-devel version is
needed. Yet no search combination comes back with where to get such a
thing(note: I need user installs/builds for security reasons). Where
are Python versions compatible with numpy?
Building
Python-2.6.6
Python-2.7.1(fails to build)
Python3.2beta2
numpy1.5.1
invalid Python installation NA
success
h5py1.3.1
needs numpy
NA
fails
To start I need just one successful combination but will need more
cases depending on users of a new integration project.
Interestingly your numpy 1.5.1's setup is in good shape to build with
Python3.2 yet I need to allow older versions for people's systems not
ready to upgrade that far.

I thought that Centos 5 ships Python 2.4 so how did you get Python 2.6,
2.7 and 3.2?
If these are from some repository then the developmental libraries
should also be there - if these are not there then either find another
repository or build Python yourself.
