Installing Python 2.5.1 (built against tcltk 8.4) for Linux
- Download Python 2.5.1 from http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.5.1/
...
- Unzip and change to the directory of the unpacked archive
...
- , E.g.,
...
- *Run, "./configure --prefix=<installation directory>"
- Edit the file, "Setup," in the "Modules" directory, "Modules/Setup"
- Uncomment the line corresponding to "zlib"
- Find the section on tcltk and uncomment
- Run, make
- Run, make installtar -zxvf Python-2.5.1.tgz
...
- cd Python-2.5.
...
- 1Run configure
run
./configure --prefix=<INSTALLATION DIRECTORY>
where <INSTALLATION DIRECTORY> is the location where you want to install the bin/ and include/ directories. Example,
./configure --prefix=/afs/slac/g/glast/ground/GLAST_EXT/redhat4-i686-32bit/python/2.5.1-gl1/gcc34/
Running ./configure then creates a file named, "Setup" in the Modules directory, Modules/Setup
Step 3 must be done before 4. Running, "./configure," generates the file Modules/Setup
We have confirmed with Jim Chiang that it is numpy (rather than numarray) we should be supporting.
