I tried to install scipy and gensim on Tempest for Eni and Jacque and it wasn’t in yum. I added the EPEL repository (see other post and info on EPEL), and that located scipy with yum, but the installation failed due to a dependency on f2py that it wasn’t able to satisfy. (Odd, right?)
Anyhow, some googling found this bug report which showed how to add the optional channel to Tempest:
# rhn-channel –add –channel=rhel-x86_64-server-optional-6
This prompted for a username and password, so I gave the one that gives us access to RHN. This worked!
# rhn-channel –list
shows two channels, including the one I added. So, now:
# yum -y install numpy-f2py
# yum -y install scipy
# easy_install gensim
# opendir /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages
Don’t forget that last step!
