Here is "diff -c". I think the problem was that the backslash was escaping
the ^M's that are all over this file. So I took it out and just put
everything on one line. Hey.. I'm a sysadmin, not a programmer :)

Python 2.2.1 (#1, May  1 2002, 11:48:54)
[GCC 2.95.3 20010315 (release)] on irix646
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import scipy_distutils.command.build_flib
>>> scipy_distutils.command.build_flib.show_compilers()
SGI 7.3.1.2m

Looks like it misses g77 (which is in my path)

Something could be broken with by g77 build. g77 -v reports a mess of info
and then

g77: installation problem, cannot exec `/var/tmp/ccaTe91N': Permission
denied

A bit odd because I am able to use it to compile things. I'll do
more checking on that.

I'll whack on it a bit more and post any interesting results :)

Thanks for the advice.

I'll get this problem fixed and then post problems with HPUX. I really
hate HPUX.
