Hi!
I am trying to install biopython on my machine which is
running Redhat 7.3.
The version of python I have is 2.2.1.
I installed Numeric as specified without a problem:
gunzip Numeric-23.1.tar.gz
tar -xvpf Numeric-23.1.tar
cd Numeric-23.1
python setup.py build
python setup.py install
I also rpmd mxTextTools in without any complaints:
rpm -i egenix-mx-base-2.0.5-py2.2_1.src.rpm
I then try to install biopython:
tar -xzvpf biopython-1.21.tar.gz
cd biopython-1.21
python setup.py install
And the result I get is:
running install
*** mxTextTools *** is either not installed or out of date.
This package is required for many Biopython features. Please install
it before you install Biopython.
You can find mxTextTools at
http://www.lemburg.com/files/python/mxExtensions.html.
Do you want to continue this installation? (y/N)
I am just wondering where/what went wrong?
TIA,
Karin
