Does Numpy's test suite pass? Either the BLAS you linked Scipy against is broken, or there are some compatibility problems due to compilers or mixing compiler versions. You could check which libraries your `fblas.so` and `cblas.so` in the Scipy installation are linked against. I've never used OSX, though, so I do not know how to do this there. You can see the same information in the beginning of the build logs, though. Maybe someone who is more familiar than me with OSX knows more. -- Pauli Virtanen
