[Numpy-discussion] Installation woes

[Eric H. <eha...@co...>]

Hey All,

    Doing my first install on a linux system (Mandrake 8.2 on a PPC).

I downloaded the *.tar.gz and unzip/untarred it.  I enter the command
'python setup.py install' and get the following error

"open '/usr/lib/python2.2/config/Makefile' (No such file or directory)"

This is the python that comes with mandrake.  I have been able to download
and install a new version of python2.2 and sucessfully install Numpy there
but I was wondering what I needed to do to get it running in the 'base'
python install

any pointers ?

Cheers
Eric
