Re: qutip installation

Hi Fateme

It seems that you are installing qutip with the default python distribution that comes with OS X (with old version of python, numpy etc). If you have installed macports and python+packages via macports as described in the installation section of the manual

http://qutip.googlecode.com/svn/doc/2.2.0/html/installation.html#installation-on-mac-os-x-10-6

then I guess you might not have run the command to make the macport python default:

sudo port select python python27

After doing this, try to run the installation again. You should run the "sudo python setup.py install" from the qutip-2.2.0 directory, not the qutip subdirectory within it.

You can also check which python you are actually using by running the command

which python

It should point to "/opt/local/bin/python" if everything is setup correctly (with macports).
