Running Galaxy under a python virtualenv created with the --no-site-packages flag will prevent any pollution from local packages. eg see http://wiki.pylonshq.com/display/pylonscookbook/Using+a+Virtualenv+Sandbox Galaxy will then run using its own distributed eggs without any conflicts.

Hi,

we want to setup a local installation of Galaxy. It seems that Galaxy doesn't like the fact that we already have a different version of numpy installed. When following the installation instructions, we get following error messages:

...

Traceback (most recent call last):  File "./scripts/fetch_eggs.py", line 30, in <module>    c.resolve() # Only fetch eggs required by the config  File "/home/galaxy/galaxy-new/galaxy-dist/lib/galaxy/eggs/__init__.py", line 345, in resolve    egg.resolve()  File "/home/galaxy/galaxy-new/galaxy-dist/lib/galaxy/eggs/__init__.py", line 195, in resolve    return self.version_conflict( e.args[0], e.args[1] )  File "/home/galaxy/galaxy-new/galaxy-dist/lib/galaxy/eggs/__init__.py", line 226, in version_conflict    r = pkg_resources.working_set.resolve( ( dist.as_requirement(), ), env, egg.fetch )  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/pkg_resources.py", line 552, in resolve    raise DistributionNotFound(req) pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: numpy==1.6.0

Note that we are using Debian and have already numpy 1.4.1 installed. How can we solve this problem without deinstalling numpy 1.4.1 (due to other dependencies)?

Thanks in advance!
