I just tried

python setup.py bdist_rpm

in the root scipy directory after a "cvs update -Pd" and got

+ env 'CFLAGS=-O2 -g -pipe -m32 -march=i386 -mtune=pentium4' python 
setup.py build
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 34, in ?
    import scipy_distutils
ImportError: No module named scipy_distutils
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.32984 (%build)


RPM build errors:
    Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.32984 (%build)
error: command 'rpmbuild' failed with exit status 1

"python setup.py bdist_rpm" successed in the scipy_core subdirectory, 
however, and installing the scipy_core RPM before building the main 
scipy RPM seems to fix the problem.

Now on to Fernando's helpful set of scripts :-).  Kudos on these 
significant steps towards simplification of the scipy build and install 
process.
