Hi again,

we are currently trying to install scipy via macports on an intel Mac. When trying to install scipy, a lot of dependecies were installed, but python24 wasn't (at least at the time that numpy was built). So I guess that numpy needs a dependency on python24.

that is how it looked:

---> Attempting to fetch numpy-1.0.3.tar.gz from http:// easynews.dl.sourceforge.net/numpy ---> Verifying checksum(s) for py-numpy ---> Extracting py-numpy ---> Configuring py-numpy ---> Building py-numpy with target build Error: Target org.macports.build returned: shell command " cd "/opt/ local/var/macports/build/ _opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_pytho n_py-numpy/work/numpy-1.0.3" && /opt/local/bin/python2.4 setup.py build " returned error 127 Command output: sh: line 1: /opt/local/bin/python2.4: No such file or directory

Error: The following dependencies failed to build: py-numpy Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

Hm. Got that solved by manually installing python24, but now I'm stuck at building scipy itself. The first problem was in the setup script of one of the scipy modules. In scipy-0.5.2/Lib/odr/setup.py, Line 9 method "get_path" is imported from some numpy module, but that method doesn't exist there. Replacing from numpy.distutils.misc_util import get_path, Configuration, dot_join by from numpy.distutils.misc_util import Configuration, dot_join solves the issue. However, I don't know why it was imported because it is not used in Lib/odr/setup.py at all. This is how it looked:

Now, having that fixed, the next error seems to be a linking error. Obviously someone forgot to link against the Python Framework / libpython2.4.dylib. Linking happens to fail for every Fortran module, cluster and io on the other hand are built without error. Could someone shed light into this?
