Hi Thomas Thank you for the suggestion. Attempting to install the libSM.i686 library via yum returns: Transaction Check Error: package libuuid-2.17.2-6.el6_0.1.x86_64 (which is newer than libuuid-2.17.2-6.el6.i686) is already installed I think something might be really off regarding the workstation as it cannot find numpy even though it is installed (according to yum).
