[SciPy-dev] installation

[arnd.baecker at physik.uni-ulm.de]

Hi,

I successfully managed to install scipy (under debian)

I just started to have a closer look at python/Numeric/scipy
and a couple of points

1.) Installation of current CVS Numeric, f2py2e, scipy:
    (scipy:    cvs_version = (1, 18, 1377, 3080) )

    Went really smooth (complete install including python 2.2b1, Numeric,
    ATLAS 3.2.1, fftw).

    Only one (minor) point:
    to install f2py2e it was necessary to copy the
    scipy_distutils from scipy to the f2py2e directory.

2.) scipy.text() lead to the following three errors:

Is any of these errors to be exected at present ?
If no, what tests can I do or what further information
do you need to find the problem (or what I did wrong .. ;)


3.) scipy.test(10):
    Ran 319 tests in 763.373s
    FAILED (errors=3)
    (same as under 2.)
