source: anuga_core/source/pypar-numeric/contrib/fra_DOUG.husk @ 5779

Last change on this file since 5779 was 5779, checked in by steve, 16 years ago

Added the old version of pypar which works with Numeric. Necessary for parallel code until we move anuga to numpy (and then we can use pypar as distribute via sourceforge).

45Hey Ole,
46
47One more suggestion -- it's obvious in retrospect, but it would be useful
48to note in your install docs that you need to have Numeric, pypar, and
49python 2.3 (for the current version of Numeric, anyway) installed on all
50hosts.  It's what I *thought*, but trying without that set up produced no
51valuable diagnostic indicating why I was losing.  I would have saved a
52little time if I had gone ahead and done all of the installs as my first
53step...
54
55Not a big deal, but it's always good to hear from the people currently
56enduring pain, since they always for get what the pain was after it's over :)
