[SciPy-user] Installation Issues

[Jeremy Morris]

I have been trying to install Scipy for the last few days.  I run
Mandrake 10, and when I run the command:

python setup.py build

I get the following error:
In file included from /usr/include/python2.3/Python.h:8,
                from Lib/cluster/src/vq_wrap.cpp:176:
/usr/include/python2.3/pyconfig.h:847:1: warning: "_POSIX_C_SOURCE" redefined
In file included from /usr/include/string.h:26,
                from Lib/cluster/src/vq_wrap.cpp:27:
/usr/include/features.h:131:1: warning: this is the location of the
previous definition
In file included from Lib/cluster/src/vq_wrap.cpp:499:
Lib/cluster/src/vq.h:57:7: warning: no newline at end of file
Lib/cluster/src/vq_wrap.cpp:563:33: Numeric/arrayobject.h: No such
file or directory
Lib/cluster/src/vq_wrap.cpp:686: error: syntax error before `*' token
Lib/cluster/src/vq_wrap.cpp:690: error: `basetype_string' was not
declared in this scope

This is just the first few lines.  I think the line that is the most
important is this one:

Lib/cluster/src/vq_wrap.cpp:563:33: Numeric/arrayobject.h: No such
file or directory

Like I said, I have been trying to build/install for a few days now.
I knew when I was altering the source that maybe something was wrong.
Can anyone help?  I need to get this running for an assignment, and
still have to learn Python.  The website said that I should include
the following info:

Thanks again.
