All -</p><p><br></p><p> I am doing a few small experiement with XUbuntu
12.04.3 and the current repos..</p><p>As some already know, I am advocating
using python "distribute" / pip to add python assets</p><p><br></p><p> I
have installed ipython (1.1) and numpy using pip and the results look good. You
may</p><p>know that iPython Notebook has gained a significant user base in the
science community since the </p><p>last Live release.</p><p><br></p><p> I went
to install matplotlib, and had to add a few things.. libpng12-dev and
libfreetype6-dev</p><p>which we already use...Otherwise all went
well..</p><p><br></p><p> I notice that install_IRIS.sh has quite a few of the
same dependancies as the SciPy stack,</p><p>yet uses apt to install the python
assets. unless someone else jumps in, over the break I will</p><p>likely try
re-arranging those install lines and see how that works out..
</p><p><br></p><p> In general I think there is a lot of stability in using
python pip to get the required packages.</p><p><br></p><p>--</p><p>Brian M
