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
