Hi Linda,

We need more details.  What version of scipy and numpy did you install? 
Where did you get them them from?  This detail matters particularly for 
numpy, which has several different incarnations (Numeric, numarray, 
NumPy), and they all do similar-but-slightly-different things.


Did you install the one from:

     http://numpy.scipy.org/

Also, what steps did you do to install those third-party modules?

If you're using NumPy, then the correct package name for it is 'numpy', 
not 'Numeric'.

     from numpy import *


Good luck!
