How to build Python Numeric and install RSS mini, the Screenlets available from GNOME-Look.org, on OpenSolaris build 111

I experimentally took a rough guess that the solutions
in Fedora might apply to this case and I'd like to express
my heartfelt appreciation to several useful websites
before I go into the main subject.

1. After trial and error I casually went to Jason Rennie's
   Home Page and found a link to Numeric-24.2.tar.gz,
   Numerical Python. I am deeply grateful to him and
   the URLs are given below.
   http://people.csail.mit.edu/jrennie/python/numeric
   http://sourceforge.net/projects/numpy/files
   /Old%20Numeric

2. You will need to unzip Numeric-24.2.tar.gz, edit
   ranf.c, and build Python Numeric. The modification
   on ranf.c to avoid the error message: "error: conflicting
   types for 'gettimeofday'" was mentioned by the helpful
   website given below. The command lines are also
   given below.
   http://osdir.com/ml/python.numeric.general/2005-06
   /msg00001.html

   $ gzcat Numeric-24.2.tar.gz | tar xvf -
   $ chmod 777 ./Numeric-24.2/Packages/RNG/Src/ranf.c
   $ cd Numeric-24.2 && gedit ./Packages/RNG/Src/ranf.c
     <EXAMPLE>
      /* int gettimeofday(struct timeval *, struct timezone *); */
   $ python setup.py build
   # python setup.py install
   # reboot

3. You will subsequently need to go to the URL given
   below, get screenlets-0.1.2.tar.bz2, unzip the
   source code, and install it. The URL and the
   command lines are given below.
   https://launchpad.net/Screenlets/+milestone/0.1.2

   $ bzcat screenlets-0.1.2.tar.bz2 | tar xvf -
   $ cd screenlets
   # make install clean

4. Afterward you will need to go to GNOME-Look.org,
   get 76969-RssMini.tar.gz, and install the package
   on Screenlets using GUI. In reviewing my conduct
   during the work, I unexpectedly had trouble using
   RSS mini, consequently edited the line 466 or 467 of
   RSSMiniScreenlet.py, and specifically deleted
   '( )' in the line. This modification owes a great deal
   to the useful website given below and I am deeply
   grateful to them. The URLs and the command lines
   are given below.

   http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php
   /Rss+mini?content=76969

   $ gedit $HOME/.screenlets/RssMini/RssMiniScreenlet.py
     <EXAMPLE>
      class Tooltip ( ):
            ↓
      class Tooltip :

    Now you can use RssMini on Screenlets with GUI.

Finally I am happy to assist you to build Python Numeric
and install RSS mini which is the Screenlets available
from GNOME-Look.org on OpenSolaris build 111.
