[Pytables-users] Re: [Pytables-announce] ANN: PyTables-0.9 released

Dear PyTables users,

Unfortunately, PyTables 0.9 has received its first bug report shortly after
the first release. The good news is that it has been fixed now. 

The problem iwas that the new setup.py won't install PyTables if either lzo
or ucl are not installed on the system, although that they are optional
libraries. This problem only happens on Unix platforms, though. A new
version of pytables-0.9.tar.gz with a cure for this has been uploaded to:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=63486

For those that already downloaded the tar package and don't want to download
it again, it will be enough to apply the next patch:

Sorry for the inconveniences,
