In running the tests for sfepy, I had several fails when I ran the debug as suggested in your installation I recieved the following message: (Full text will be at the end of this email)      

raise ImportError('Scipy was built without UMFPACK support. '
ImportError: Scipy was built without UMFPACK support. You need to install the UMFPACK library and header files before building scipy.


I have tried pip installing  scikit-umfpack but it told me that the requirement was already met.  I tried updating and it said it was up to date.  I also updated scipy but that did not change the error message.   Do you know of other problems that might be causing this error?  I am using Anaconda on a Windows 8 machine.  
Thanks,
Alicia White
