[SciPy-user] installation in FC3

Tue May 10 12:24:09 EDT 2005

Where are you getting the Numeric .rpm from?  I've modified the one from
Fedora Extras to use Numeric 23.8 and this seemed to work for me.  An rpm
for a python package that is to be installed on Fedora should require a
python-abi version not a python version.
