[lsst-dm-stack-users] Difficulties installing DM on Ubuntu 11

[Heather Kelly]

Hi Dick,

Thanks!
I might also suggest (if you haven't already) the instructions to enable
scipy (we use it in a package called eotest that depends directly on the
DMstack).. that was another thread on this mailing list, I'll have to
see if I can dig that up.

Take care,
Heather
