Dear all:
I am trying the numpy-scipy-matplotlib stack on Opensuse 10.2 from
http://repos.opensuse.org/science/openSUSE_10.2/i586/
No success with matplotlib, however. Two problems:
- No plot windows open at all
- When using TeX ouput, ghostscript segfaults:
sh: line 1: 11319 Segmentation fault gs -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -r6000 -sDEVICE=pswrite -sPAPERSIZE=letter -sOutputFile="/tmp/ef684d47fbac423478eccceef602c8ca.ps" "/tmp/ef684d47fbac423478eccceef602c8ca" >"/tmp/ef684d47fbac423478eccceef602c8ca.output"
So in short, nothing works. Has anybody been successfully running
this RPM? (Background: This is for the teaching lab computers at my
university where I'd like to experiment with in-class use of scipy. I
have an agreement with the sysadmin that he'd install
numpy-scipy-matplotlib if it runs "out-of-the-box" from a standard
repository without any manual fiddling. Otherwise, I'd be out of
luck. On my personal workstation I run Fedora where I never had any
problem with the "official" RPMs from Fedora Extra...)
Regards,
Marcel
PS.: Yes, I got past the BLAS/Lapack problem. Short answer: Don't use
the official blas and lapack packages from Suse, they are incomplete.
Use the RPMs from the repository above.
