Instructions for installing the Orange Python-based data mining system on Debian in Python 2.5. I have not yet tested my installation. First use your webbrowser to get "Nightly packed sources" from http://www.ailab.si/orange/nightly_builds.html

mkdir orange
mv orange-source-snapshot-*.zip orange/
cd orange
unzip orange-source-snapshot-2009-11-02.zip
cd source
make
cd ..
su
# as root:
apt-get install make g++ python-dev python-numarray-ext python-numpy-ext python-numeric-ext python-matplotlib python-imaging
apt-get install python-qwt5-qt4
export op=/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.5
mkdir $op/orange
tar -cf - --exclude='.svn' * | tar --no-same-owner -xf - -C $op/orange
sh -c "echo $op/orange > $op/orange.pth"
ln -s $op/orange/liborange.so /usr/lib/liborange.so
exit

# to run:
ipython /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.5/OrangeCanvas/orngCanvas.pyw
