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 buildRunning from numpy source directory.non-existing path in 'numpy/distutils': 'site.cfg'F2PY Version 2_8111numpy/core/setup_common.py:86: MismatchCAPIWarning: API mismatch detected, the C API version numbers have to be updated.

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/libsudo cp UMFPACK/Lib/libumfpack.a /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/libsudo cp AMD/Include/amd.h /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/includesudo cp UFconfig/UFconfig.h /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/includesudo 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
