Installing PyTables On Fedora

Steps that I am doing to install PyTables on Fedora 10.

sudo yum install hdf5-devel

sudo yum install bz2-devel

sudo yum install lzo-devel

# optional : create and activate a python virtualenv

pip install -U numexpr

pip install http://pytables.org/svn/pytables/branches/std-2.2

now the trick is to go inside the build directory (/build/tables if you are using a virtual environment)

and execute:

python setup.py build_ext -i

the you can simply do from the tables directory:

pip install -U .
