[SciPy-user] failure to build scipy on RHEL5

[Paul Barrett]

Mike,

I have numpy, scipy, and matplotlib RPMs for EL5 x86_64, if you want
them.  I also think that I have the i386 ones too, but the SRPMs are
of course available.

I've been meaning to offer them to the EPEL repository, but I haven't
made the time.
