It turns out that my problem is that those packages didn't exist when I 
installed core 4, which was pretty soon after it was released.
However, now that I've got you on line, atlas does not provide a 
complete lapack implementation. What's the easiest way to get a complete 
implementation, with as much optimized as possible?
Also, I note that there are versions for SSE, SSE2, and 3dnow. do you 
know a good source for figuring out which of these a given processor 
has, and what if you have both 3dnow and SSE2?

 What problems did you had with the version present in Extras?
 I am just curious, and the feedback is important to improve it. Note that=
 I am
not the packager but I am clearly interested in good implementation of atla=
s for
fedora.

Gentoo is quite friendly to python, atlas, etc as well, once you've got 
a basic system installed. I've also had luck with Fedora Core 4, though 
I was very surprised NOT to find good atlas rpms.

Yes, it sure is. Did the upgrade remove your python2.3 installation? If 
not, you should be able to just use "python2.3" at the command line and 
in your #! lines, and keep using the old install while you work on 
getting everything you need into 2.4.
I always put a versioned python in my #! lines:
#!/usr/bin/env python2.3
So that I can install a new python, and still have any scripts I've got 
working just keep working.
If the Suse upgrade did remove python2.3 -- shame on Suse.

I am running matplotlib and scipy on ubuntu and it really was pretty
straight forward to install.
But you may be tied to SUSE for other reasons or the idea of a
complete reinstall may be completely unacceptable.
ATLAS and BLAS and LAPACK are all available as precompiled packages on ubun=
tu.

Hi Eric,
installation issues can be frustrating - most of us have been
through what you encounter at the momemt (at least once ;-).
Don't give up! Some ideas below (I will also send you my
full install notes off-list - see also:
http://www.scipy.org/mailinglists/mailman?fn=scipy-dev/2005-November/003949.html
)

In my notes for the installation under SUSE 10.0 I have:
In setupext.py change:
def find_tcltk():
 [...]
 #o.tk_inc="/usr/include/"
 o.tcl_inc="/usr/include/"
 if not os.path.exists(o.tcl_inc):
 print 'cannot find tcl/tk headers. giving up.'
 sys.exit()
 return o
Not sure if this will help you.

ATLAS is surely the worst. Does any SUSE expert know,
whether there are ATLAS packages available?
For downloads of precompiled ATLAS see:

Compilation of all these (don't know about ppgplot) worked
fine for me on SUSE 10.0 (even with 64 Bit, with kind help from the
sciy mailing list) and does not take too long.
Another option is too choose debian (or ubuntu, ...) as distribution.
If you want to have up-to-date matplotlib, you can either compile
them yourself or try use use some of the pre-built ones
(eg. by John for ubuntu). Also for current scipy you will
have to install it yourself.
But ATLAS and basically anything else you might need is
avaible as .deb.
Good luck,
Arnd

On SuSE this should be fixed by installing
tk-devel and tcl-devel

Hi,
trying to install matplotlib 0.85 on python 2.4 (Suse 10.0), I get :
===> cannot find tcl/tk headers. giving up.
this is annoying and I cannot find much on the web to help me there. I 
have checked my libraries and soft (including the "devel") and think I 
have everything updated right.
It is probably a simple pb, so if anybody has a hint there;
thanks in advance.
Eric
P.S.: by the way, upgrading my Linux (Suse 10.0) and therefore getting 
python 2.4, I have now to reinstall everything from scratch (python 
modules) and this is a REAL pain (for example ATLAS which takes ages and 
so on). It means for me that I cannot work before having all back to 
normal (all modules working such as ppgplot, gnuplot-py, Numeric, 
numarray, Scipy, matplotlib, etc, etc). And I am not even sure this will 
compile with Python 2.4. Anybody knows a way out of this?
