Hi, all

I am with xfce currently and though of tring KDE. However when I tried to install KDE it turns that there are confilicts between 'kde' and 'python-numpy':

,..

Can anyone help please?

thanks,

ps:
python-numpy was installed via "pip install numpy" instead of "pacman -S python-numpy". Could this cause any problem?

Thanks for the prompt reply.

I installed my python-numpy via "pip install numpy" instead of "pacman -S python-numpy". So it this that causes the problem?

By that, does it mean I should always stick to using "pacman" instead of "pip install"?

Generally it is less pain to stick to pacman only. Using anything else would mean pacman cannot know what packages certain files belong to, similar to what you ran into here.

I don't know how pip works, but for ruby I only install gems locally (into ~/.ruby) and use chruby to manage them: that means I don't have conflicts with pacman along these lines.
The nearest thing I can find for python is this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Python_VirtualEnv

This looks nice. May I should install my python packages in my home directory.

Got it. Seems I have to reinstall my python packages from scratches again.

Thanks to all the help.

SOLVED.

Never ever run pip as root, no matter which distro you are on. It is horribly insecure and it makes a mess of the filesystem and will conflict with system packages.
