[pymvpa] scipy problem at installation

[Per B. Sederberg]

Hi Patrik:

I didn't follow your earlier postings, so I don't know your specific
setup, but you can install all the dependencies you need for glmnet in
R by starting R from the command line and entering the following
command:

install.packages()

a GUI should pop up and you should select your nearest mirror and
press OK.

Then a list of packages should come up in a new window.  From there,
select glmnet and press OK.

This will download and install glmnet and all its dependencies.

You will also have to install rpy2 as the interface between python and
R.  I have never installed rpy2 manually b/c I run Debian, so my best
suggestion is to follow the installation instructions on the rpy2
site:

http://rpy.sourceforge.net/rpy2/doc-2.1/html/overview.html#installation

Good luck!
Per
