[Numpy-discussion] Broken numpy install

[Milan Mitrovic]

Hello everyone,

I have a problem with my numpy installation. I installed numpy, scipy
and matplotlib from source, about one year ago (the macports install
wouldn't work for me). This worked fine untill I had some problems two
days ago (as it later turned out, completely unrelated to numpy) but
my thesis advisor suggested that I update numpy and scipy. Since then
I've been trying to make it work (and haven't worked on my thesis at
all).

So, I updated the git/svn code to the latest versions, re-ran build
and install and things don't work any more. I have a script that I am
trying to use and here is the error message that I get:

RuntimeError: module compiled against ABI version 1000009 but this
version of numpy is 2000000
Traceback (most recent call last):

    from matplotlib._path import affine_transform

I have tried googling and followed every piece of advice I could find.
Nothing worked. Please let me know what info I need to provide so you
can help me. Or tell me a way to completely clean my system and start
all over (cause it seems that it is being built for the wrong python).

Btw, some people on #scipy on freenode suggested that I try running
the script with all interpreters I get from which -a python... they
all failed with the same error message.

Thanks in advance,
Milan Mitrovic
