Question

How do I build numpy 1.5 on ubuntu 10.10?
The instructions I found seems outdated or not clear.

Thanks

Answer 1

I used pip to install after getting the required compiler/build tools:

sudo apt-get -y install build-essential
wget http://python-distribute.org/distribute_setup.py && sudo python ./distribute_setup.py
sudo easy_install pip
sudo pip install numpy

I used easy_install to get pip and then pip to get numpy.
