https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Dev/Help-installing-Numpy/m-p/187002#M2492 <P>Hi,</P> <P>I might need to post this in a Python community but thought I'd start here since I've done this on other servers and haven't had problems. So I'm trying to install setuptools and Numpy for Splunk's OOB Python (version 2.7.5). But I keep running into problems (like "no module named ctypes" even though I have ctypes via a "yum" installation). And this is only one of the problems I've ran into. Another big one was "Python.h couldn't be compiled". Anyway, bottom line is I just need to install Numpy so I can use it for a search command (that uses python algorithm that depends on the Numpy module). </P> <P>If anyone has ever successfully done this, please help!</P> <P>By the way, I don't understand why Numpy wouldn't be bundled with Splunk's OOB Python. Numpy is popular and powerful for analytics. Isn't Splunk's advantage over other logging vendors powerful analytics??</P> Tue, 03 Jun 2014 16:37:22 GMT sdorich 2014-06-03T16:37:22Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Dev/Help-installing-Numpy/m-p/187002#M2492 <P>Hi,</P> <P>I might need to post this in a Python community but thought I'd start here since I've done this on other servers and haven't had problems.
