Configure.ac has no reference to python-numpy

[António Lima]

I built zeitgeist but it would not run properly until I install python-numpy. There is no mention of this package in configure.ac file, so a user that tries to build zeitgeist might not find what he's missing.

Thank you for your bug report.

Package python-numpy is in no way required to build Zeitgeist, only to run it (there's a difference between Build Dependencies and Dependencies necessary to run it), and the ImportError message which is given is explicit enough for anyone who builds the package.

Listing the dependencies in a README or INSTALL file would be a nice thing to do, I'll write that down.

Of course, I built Zeitgeist without python-numpy, that was stupid of
me. But having the dependencies listed would indeed be nice. Thanks

You don't need python-numpy to *build* it, you need it to *run* it.
Those are different processes.

And yes, the dependencies list will definitely be there :).

The GNOME Zeitgeist project for creating a GUI is now called GNOME Activity Journal, and yesterday we released the first version of it.

You can get both the Activity Journal and Zeitgeist from our PPA: https://launchpad.net/~zeitgeist/+archive/ppa
