pandas install problem

[JDennison]

This may not be a pandas specific issue but its the last thing i can;t
get installed. I have ipython, numpy and dateutil up and running. Im
using python 2.6.5 on an 64-bit unbuntu 10.04.1 machine. Here are my
log files. Any help would be life saver.

This bit indicates that you need the python headers.

sudo apt-get install python-dev

hth,

Skipper

[Yaroslav Halchenko]

alternatively if you were running ubuntu >= 11.04 you could use
python-pandas package available from neuro.debian.net repository.

otherwise here is an additional list of (optional or not so) dependencies
you might like to have

python-setuptools, cython (>= 0.12~),
python-numpy, python-dateutil,
python-scipy,
python-scikits.statsmodels,
python-tz,
python-tables, python-xlrd,
python-matplotlib,
Cheers,
