[Pythonmac-SIG] SciPy install on Tiger with Python 2.4.1 framework

[Samuel M. Smith]

The gcc 3.3 issue was the key. Thanks for help.

Below is a list of what I did.

Could someone take these directions and create a pkg installer for  
scipy? So others can just double click to install?

******************
scipy installation instruction for framework python 2.4.1 on OS X 10.4.2

Get the following files
http://pythonmac.org/packages/Numeric-23.7-py2.4-macosx10.3.zip
http://pythonmac.org/packages/numarray-1.1.1-py2.4-macosx10.3.zip
http://prdownloads.sf.net/hpc/g77v3.4-bin.tar.gz?download
http://www.fftw.org/fftw-2.1.5.tar.gz
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/aquaterm/AquaTerm1.0.b2.dmg
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gnuplot/Gnuplot-4.0.0.dmg
http://ipython.scipy.org/tmp/scipy_cvs_2005-07-29.tgz

Make sure framework python 2.41 is default python by putting
/usr/local/bin at the front of shell PATH variable

Install Numeric 23.7 from pkg installer
Install numarray 1.1.1 from pkg installer

Set default gcc compiler to version 3.3 this must be so for  
compatibility with g77 fortran compiler used in scipy

 > sudo gcc_select 3.3

Install g77 3.4
 > sudo tar -xvf g77v3.4-bin.tar -C /

Install fftw 2.1.5

 > tar -xvzf fftw-2.1.5.tar.gz (or tar -xvf if it has already been  
gunzipped)
 > cd fftw*
 > ./configure
 > make
 > sudo make install


Install F2PY 2.1.5
 > tar -xvzf F2PY-2-latest.tar.gz
 > cd  F2PY*
 > sudo python setup.py install

Install AquaTerm 1.0b2 from pkg installer

Install GnuPlot 4.0 from pkg installer

Untar the scipy_cvs_2005_07_29.tgx
cd to the scipy directory
Build and Install scipy

 > python setup.py build
 > sudo python setup.py install

Test
 >python
 >>> import scipy
 >>> scipy.test()

Expect that some tests will fail. The test function should complete OK.
