At the moment it is not possible to execute python system_info.py until scipy_distutils is installed first. The reason is that system_info tries to compile an extension module to determine the version of ATLAS, but do to that, it needs scipy_distutils. One option would be to disable ATLAS version detection if scipy_distutils is not installed, but then again the output of `python system_info.py` would not reflect the real state of the system. So, install scipy_core first (or put it's location to PYTHONPATH) and then run system_info.py.

The same happens for lapack_opt_info.

Yes, you can ignore it. It's solely an issue of testing hooks and will be fixed as soon as I get a moment for it. Pearu
