Possible Duplicate: Installing SciPy with pip

I want to install a new version of SciPy which is 0.11.0 and the current version which I have is 0.9.0.

It is installed by this command:

sudo apt-get install python-scipy

I have tried installing 0.11.0 from sources, but I could not.

Is there already an apt-get for 0.11.0?

EDIT 1

Following is the error when I build from source or do an easy install.

That issue has been resolved, and the error is now the following.

I have asked this question [here], but the issue is not solved yet.

Any thoughts?

    Generally it's a bad idea to replace system library with a different version. Is there any reason you can't use `virtualenv` and install the library with `pip` or `easy_install`? – Kien Truong Nov 21 '12 at 11:25
  • i have updated the error for the easy_install – Shan Nov 21 '12 at 12:12

If you have all the basic prerequisites installed as described in the INSTALL.txt file, it should be fairly straightforward by doing a:

sudo python setupy.py install

from within the directory where you extracted the scipy0.11.0 tarball. This should make the library inside your current default Python version.

You can check whether you have the prerequisites by just running:

sudo apt-get install python python-dev libatlas3-base-dev gcc gfortran g++

as explained again in the INSTALL.TXT.

  • it cant find the package libatlas3-base-dev – Shan Nov 21 '12 at 17:03

    Right. sorry about that. Using the synaptic package manager on ubuntu you will notice that version 3.8.4 of ATLAS is distributed as package libatlas-base-dev (instead of libatlas3-base-dev). Use that one. It is basically the same. I guess the latest scipy release antedated the latest ubuntu release and the package names got upgraded. – Mathias Vanwolleghem Nov 21 '12 at 22:08
