[SciPy-user] Scipy on MacOS X, troubles

[Erin Sheldon]

Hi Marco -

I also had success with MacPorts (formerly darwinports).
It seems to be a very stable solution.  For me it required
compiling gcc 4.1, however, so it may require patience.

I was pleased enough to create at how-to on
this wiki page:
