Re: [Pytables-users] installation issue with PyTables 2.0.4

[Francesc A. <fa...@py...>]

Hi,

The truth is that I've no clues about your problem.  Did you install the 
PyTables package in a locally accessible Python repository, right?

At any rate, I'm CC'ing this to the PyTables list.  Perhaps someone with 
more experience with MacOSX can shed some light on this.  Incidentally, 
it is always a good idea to send this sort of reports to the PyTables 
list so that the community as a whole, and not only me, can help you.

Regards,
