scigraphica (AUR} does not start

Hi,

just installed scigraphica from AUR in community. Application installs without warning. However it aborts wih the following message:

$ scigraphica
Could not find platform independent libraries <prefix>
Could not find platform dependent libraries <exec_prefix>
Consider setting $PYTHONHOME to <prefix>[:<exec_prefix>]
'import site' failed; use -v for traceback
ImportError: No module named numarray.libnumeric
Fatal Python error: numarray.libnumeric failed to import... exiting.

Aborted

Can anyone help me or suggest a equal good plotting package ?

Thanks

Did you also install python-numarray?

pacman -Ss numarray
community/python-numarray 1.5.2-2
    Provides array manipulation and computational capabilities similar to those
    found in IDL, Matlab, or Octave.

Re: scigraphica (AUR} does not start

The general problem here is out-of-date-ness. The community scigraphica package was built two years ago from the 2.1.0 release, which itself was released nearly four years ago. A lot has changed since then e.g. new python releases, python-numarray replaced by python-numpy, etc.

I'd suggest you get the PKGBUILDs for scigraphica and its lib from abs, and see if you can rebuild everything. Be aware, though, that the numarray->numpy thing is not a drop-in replacement - details here: http://numpy.scipy.org .
