Singularity requires numpy

[cosurgi]

Hi,


I just tried to run singularity. It's all in python so I just copied all files from debian to pandora and ran it.


And I got error message: singularity requires numpy.


I tried 'opkg install python-numpy' but I wasn't that lucky.


Any ideas?

Well, numpy-python from angstrom is not for python 2.4 but for 2.5 so it is impossible to install from angstrom repo. Installing it by hand requires fortran and gcc compilers, since numpy is not all python, but some parts are optimized.


Eventually I tried running singularity under PanDebian in squeeze and it sort of worked: game starts, music & FX work, fullscreen works. Looks like everything works, except that it's not possible to play - when I start a new game I don't have any CPUs to do research and main meny appears as if I just had lost. Weird. But that looks like a bug in python code of the game which occurs only on arm.

I don't understand this. Pandora's Python is version 2.6, and the python-numpy package seems to depend on Python 2.6. I can't test it myself, but I don't know why it wouldn't install for you. Could you copy opkg's error messages?

Same here, I want to play endgame: singularity on my pandy.


the error I get in response to "sudo opkg install python-numpy"

Collected errors:


* opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package python-numpy.

I got the same message after a typo, that is why I assumed there is no package "python-numpy".


So I ran "opkg list" , and indeed the list contained several python packages but no numpy.


from what I did read so far, opkg is capable of offline installation, maybe that's worth a try

So there is no numpy/scipy included on the Pandora? that would be bad, I need it basically all the time ... are you sure about this?


Did you try downloading it from the official page and install manually?
