Hi,
I want to install the scipy and numpy modules. I checked in the AUR, and scipy was flagged as outdated. I decided to do things the old fashioned way, by downloading the .tar.gz files from the official website, when I encountered two problems.
# I went through the wiki and found there was something called ABS. I went through the steps of installing it, making a new file in ~, copying python-numpy to that folder. When I go there and do makepkg, it gives me the error
"error: 'python-distribute': could not find or read package
==> ERROR: 'pacman' failed to install missing dependencies."
#Not knowing what was wrong, I decided to ahead with downloading the official .tar.gz files from the websites. When I navigate to the folder that I have extracted them to, and do ./configure, I get the error,
"bash: ./configure: No such file or directory"
I am stumped.
EDIT: I have found out how to install it from instructions on the official website which installs it through python. However, I am not going to mark this solved because I'd like to know why this didn't work.

Did you try installing this
http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra … istribute/
If you use the -s flag with makepkg it will try to install dependencies for you

I did add the -s flag, but it still gave me that error.
I did download from Extras. I'm wondering why I got that error.
EDIT: I have successfully installed numpy through ABS and figured out how it works. I've installed scipy through the instructions on the website. I'd still like to to know why I got the errors I got which are
# Even when I included the -s flag for makepkg, it didn't resolve the dependency
#Where is configure? Why is it giving me an error?
I'd also like to say that the scipy module ought to be updated.

Why did you use abs and aur? Both of them are in the repos.
pacman -Syu python2-numpy python-scipy

Just curious. I wanted to find out how to do things another way.

But you are doing it the wrong way, which will only lead to pain.

Oh I see. Well, I'm new to this and just thought I'd experiment. Otherwise, I'd definitely use pacman.
