I installed the package from standard repo (openSUSE oss), but when I try to run any of the examples I get:

I reinstalled numpy, but still the same.

This is typical of python not finding the correct library to import. It should have installed into the directory(s) that contain Python's libraries. On my 10.0 system these are located in /usr/lib/python. I'm wondering what version of python that you are using, it might be possible that you have have the file correctly installed, but are invoking the wrong version of python. Another thing is that you are one directory up from your import directory when you are invoking this, try copying the file down one level, or copying the library files up one level, or better yet, copy the example files to a directory in your /home/<you> and then you can blow it all away when you are done without having to worry about any kind of corruption of the original files. I have a /home/Mike/Projects/Python directory where I am working through a "learn to program python" book, from here I can find all of python's normal library files, and the new library files that came on disk with the book, as I localed them there, i.e. /home/Mike/Projects/Python/<libraries>/ HTH, Mike -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
