i am running Ubuntu Hoary and am trying to build the Python numarray package, v. 1.3.2 by hand since ubuntu's repos won't be updated until breezy.
i have python 2.4, and gcc 3.3.5
after unpacking the tar, i run "python setup.py install", as it says in the installation instructions. i get the following:
Code:
[colfax 53] numarray-1.3.2 > python setup.py install
Using EXTRA_COMPILE_ARGS = []
running install
running build
running build_py
copying Lib/numinclude.py -> build/lib.linux-i686-2.4/numarray
running build_ext
Traceback (most recent call last):

I had a similiar (but different) error earlier, but then I learned I had to set my "CC" environment variable. So I set that to "gcc".
Any ideas on this new error? Are there packages/settings I need to take care of before i can use Python's distutils?
Thanks,
Jason
