[Numpy-discussion] Intel OSX test failure

[Gennan Chen]

Hi!

I just got an MacBook Pro and tried to install numpy+scipy on that.   
I successfully installed ipython+matplotlib+python 2.4 through  
darwinports.
Then I svn co a copy of numpy +scipy. Compilation (gcc 4.0.1 +  
gfortran) seems working fine for numpy. After I installed it and run  
numpy.test() in ipython, it failed. And the error is:

In [4]: numpy.test()
