Installing Orange, openSUSE x64

 Old draft I never published:

Sadly, there aren't any binaries to install orange from.  In theory nightly builds are nice as you have the latest changes, however in practice, a lot can go wrong.

Download the nightly build (bottom of page) for linux
Extract the zip file.
follow the instructions for install listed here:
http://www.ailab.si/orange/installation_suse.html
caveots:
- the version of numpy and PyQwt need to be incremented to the verson you downloaded.
- when trying to run Orange Canvas, you will get an error "ImportError: No module named orange"
         -   create a blank file named __init__.py in the /usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/orange directory (this solution found here)


that fixes that error, but then you are stuck by:


 > python /usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/orange/OrangeCanvas/orngCanvas.pyw
