[SciPy-user] Problems installing CVS version of scipy

[Francesc Alted]

Hi,

I've installed the CVS version of scipy following directions stated on this
mailing list, and everything compiled ok (apparently!).

But, when I try to import scipy, I get the next error:

$ python2.2
Python 2.2.1 (#1, Apr 21 2002, 08:38:44) 
[GCC 2.95.4 20011002 (Debian prerelease)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import scipy
exceptions.ImportError:

    import calc_lwork
    ImportError:

and, curiously enough, if I try to import again, it succeeds!:

>>> import scipy

The CVS version I'm using is:

>>> scipy.__cvs_version__.cvs_version 
(1, 144, 1520, 4350)

Using Debian 3.0 Linux here, and installed Numeric 22.0, Atlas 3.4.1 and
F2PY 2.23.190-1369. The rest of the packages are from distribution.

Any hint?
