I've found some references that state that snow leopard includes PEAR.. but how come I cant find it?! Could someone confirm this.. if if so, where is my pear? ...
Hi all, I rather cleverly (or not in hindsight) installed RVM, which kept hanging whilst compiling Rubies. I have removed the .rvm directory but now my system has reverted to Ruby 1.8.7 i.e. when I type: ruby -v which ruby they both point to 1.8.7. How do I get the ruby command to point to my 1.9.1 installation, which is located in...
Hi, I'm running Matlab R2009b on Snow Leopard, and I am trying to create a transparent polygon. The following line works fine: figure,fill([1 0 0 1],[-1e-9 -1e-9 1e-9 1e-9],'r') But when I set the transparency, alpha(.5); the figure collapses in on itself. That is, any title, xlabel, and ylabel I have in th...
Hi All, A friend of mine and I have been trying to use git for a project. It is hosted on his server, and I git clone it as: git clone [email protected]:/path/to/git/repos.git Pretty standard stuff, and it works great for a while. But every time one of us has added a large commit (which git supposedly handles very well), of the or...

I'm desperately trying to successfully install psycopg2 but keep running into errors. The latest one seems to involve it not being to find "stdarg.h" (see code below). However I can see with my own eyes that a file called stdarg.h exists at /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk/usr/include/stdarg.h (where it claims it can't find anything) so I...

I have a problem with the shift keys, and I would like to be able to swap the shift keys with the caps lock key. I didn't find any utility that would permit me to do that; the only solution I have is to create a kext. My question is the following: Why doesn't exist a kext to do that already? I found DoubleCommand, but between all the po...
While this question does not involve any code, it does involve problems stemming from the fact that I don't own a Mac, and the impact that has on apps I'm working on where I do have access to a Mac. It's also a long read, so please bear with me. iOS 4 and iPhone SDK 4 have been released; with that, I've made the obligatory upgrade on my...

Loadtxt gives errors of the filename being too long, and getfromtxt does not work at all (no object in module error). So then I tried downloading the py26-numpy port on MacPorts. Of course when I use python...
