scipy for python 2.4

[querypk]

Did anyone try to install Scipy package on python2.4 linux version. I
see only python2.3 version of scipy released. When I try to install I
get an dependency warning saying scipy cannot find python2.3.

Can someone point me to python2.4 version of scipy and help me install.

scipy.org has not yet released binaries for Python 2.4. It will compile
from source just fine, though. Someone may have also released binary
packages for your particular platform, but since you don't mention which
one that is, we can't help you with that, yet.

In order to help, I just tried to compile it, and it seems to have a bunch
of dependencies to worry about:

I tried to compile it from source. But it dint work.It was looking for
python2.3 .But I want to install it on pyrthon 2.4
PLatform you mean I am using RedHat 9.0. is that what you were
referring?
can you point me to the source you are referring. I used the sourse
from this link...

Yes, that's the source I'm talking about (although CVS is better). I
don't understand what you mean when you say that the source "was looking
for python2.3." The source distribution certainly doesn't do that.

Yes, that's true. Only some kind of LAPACK/BLAS (with ATLAS for
preference) is actually necessary. Coincidentally, there are binaries
provided if you can't find binary RPMs for your system.
