Together, they run on -all popular operating systems, are quick to install, and are free of -charge. NumPy and SciPy are easy to use, but powerful enough to be -depended upon by some of the world's leading scientists and engineers. - -matplotlib and ipython are nice to have in connection with scipy, but -scipy does not depend on them. - -Since ver. 0.14.0 scipy uses SuperLU instead of UMFPACK for solving -unsymmetric sparse linear systems. If you want to use UMFPACK you -must install it in advance of numpy and build numpy accordingly (see -the README to numpy's SlackBuild). Moreover, after installing scipy, -you have to install scikit-umfpack, which presently is not available on -SlackBuilds.org. - -If you need to build scipy for debugging, set DEBUG=y. - -NOTE: If you use this SlackBuild scipy will run with the python version - provided by Slackware Linux, which is presently 2.7.xx. If you'd - like to use python 3.x then you have to install scipy with the - scipy3 SlackBuild. |
