title: Error: pip install scipy
body: <p>I have python 2.6.6 installed in my oracle linux</p>
  
  <p>I ran the command to install the package</p>
  
  <pre><code>pip install scipy
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However I am getting the following error</p>
  
  <pre><code>[root@bigdatadev3 Downloads]# pip install scipy
      DEPRECATION: Python 2.6 is no longer supported by the Python core team, please upgrade your Python. A future version of pip will drop support for Python 2.6

        `setup.py clean` is not supported, use one of the following instead:
  
          - `git clean -xdf` (cleans all files)
          - `git clean -Xdf` (cleans all versioned files, doesn't touch
                      files that aren't checked into the git repo)
  
        Add `--force` to your command to use it anyway if you must (unsupported).

  <p>What am I missing here?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Issue Resolved</strong></p>
  
  <p>I resolved the issue as follows</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>ran <code>yum install lapack</code> and <code>yum install blas-devel lapack-devel</code></li>
  <li>ran <code>pip install scipy</code></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>It took sometime to execute <code>Running setup.py install for scipy ...</code> but finally it's installed now</p>
