[SciPy-user] scipy/numpy on CentOS 5/ Dependency problem

[Matthias Blaicher]

Hello,

I want to install SciPy and numpy on a CentOS 5 system. It contains a
fresh install with up-to-date packages. I use the "official" Suse
Build repos by DavidCournapeau.

It fails with a conflict between refblas3 and blas.

[root at localhost yum.repos.d]# yum install python-numpy python-scipy

Is there anything I'm doing wrong here, as I don't want to compile all
dependencies by myself..

Sincerly,
