Install with numarray

Community matplotlib-users

Hi,

     I

have a long annoying problem: how can I make the installer compile for numarray
instead of Numeric? For compatibility reason I have both on my machine and
prefer numarray (and an installerJ).
It seems the installer detects the presence of Numeric prior to numarray. Is
there any configuration available? Thanks.

Cheers,

Yang

The matplotlib setup.py file looks for both Numeric and Numarray and
sets the build configuration to ‘both’, if you have them. This is your
situation, so you should have access to both of them. If it is not
finding Numarray, then you’ll have to modify your PYTHONPATH variable
to point to the numarray library. Also make sure you have the numarray
include files.

To use numarray, set the numerix keyword to numarray in your
.matplotlibrc file.
