Installing Snow Leopard

I'm going to attempt to install snow leopard today. This post will serve as a record of the difficulties I run into.

Things to install (and ensure they are 64-bit):

• ipython
  
• numpy
  
• scipy
  
• matplotlib
  
• stsci-python
  
• starlink
  
• gfortran
  
• latex
  
• idl (check)
  

Things that have happened:

1. Had to restart again (twice) to install additional updates
   
2. My bash command line looked funny - something about bash changed, but I don't know what. The fix was easy: commented out some code from http://pseudogreen.org/blog/set_tab_names_in_leopard_terminal.html that I had been using to set the tab title
   
3. My locate db broke. Needed repair: sudo /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb
   
4. numpy svn failed to build:
   python setup.py build
Running from numpy source directory.non-existing path in 'numpy/distutils': 'site.cfg'
F2PY Version 2_8111
numpy/core/setup_common.py:86: MismatchCAPIWarning: API mismatch detected, the C API version numbers have to be updated. Current C api version is 4, with checksum 59750b518272c8987f02d66445afd3f1, but recorded checksum for C API version 4 in codegen_dir/cversions.txt is 3d8940bf7b0d2a4e25be4338c14c3c85. If functions were added in the C API, you have to update C_API_VERSION in numpy/core/setup_common.pyc.

   SOLUTION: Use the Mac OS X 10.6 python (/usr/bin/python). I will do this until I run into another problem. Numpy build successfully
   
5. Build/install matplotlib - failed! Completely!
   
6. Acquired gcc/gfortran from hpc
   
7. Followed instructions from hyperjeff on fortran install...
   
8. Get rid of numpy 1.2.1: mv /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/Extras/lib/python/numpy /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/Extras/lib/python/.not_numpy.bak
   
9. Try to install scipy. Fail on missing umfpack, follow hyperjeff's instructions (but make sure to edit the site.cfg in scipy, not just the one in numpy)
   
   Had to add the following code:
   
sudo cp AMD/Lib/libamd.a /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib
sudo cp UMFPACK/Lib/libumfpack.a /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib
sudo cp AMD/Include/amd.h /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/include
sudo cp UFconfig/UFconfig.h /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/include
sudo cp UMFPACK/Include/*.h /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/include

   
10. Installed fftw from fftw.org with simple ./configure, make, sudo make install - no compiler opts as they killed the install
    
11. Get SoundSource from rogueamoeba
    
12. Updated istatmenus
