I am trying to build numpy and scipy on Mac OS X 10.5.5. I recently installed Apple's Developer Tools (3.1.1) and am using gfortran 4.2.3. Gcc is at version 4.0.1. I installed the latest python (2.6) from the offcial python site using a binary. I then installed fftw 3.1.2. This appeared to install (no explicit tests were run). I created three softlinks as suggested on the site: http://www.scipy.org/Installing_SciPy/Mac_OS_X
AFAIK Python 2.6 is not supported at this point, I recall there being known issues with 0.6.0 and py2.6. You may have more luck with the latest svn snapshots (instructions are at http://scipy.org/Download ), but if you want to run stable you're probably better off installing python 2.5.2 instead.
