Very strange. If you installed Python using your package manager, then
there would be no problem finding "distutils.core" which a central
part of the Python installation on Ubuntu 7.10. As you can see from
the following search for "core.py", it's included in the "python2.4"
package:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?word=3Dcore.py&search=
mode=3Dsearchfiles&case=3Dinsensitive&version=3Dgutsy&arch=3Di386

You should not have had any problems with numeric either. We have
switched to numpy, which is available in the Ubuntu distribution also.

Hope this helps. Our installation instructions are at the following address=
