[SciPy-user] No longer able to load scipy

[iCy-fLaME]

Not sure since when my scipy gets broken, but it worked fine at least
a week ago, so I removed both numpy and scipy, and download the
lastest (numpy-1.0.tar.gz & scipy-0.5.1.tar.gz) then recompile from
source.

No complains while compiling and installing both numpy and scipy, but
still unable to import scipy, while numpy works fine.

I am using:
python-2.4.3-18.fc6


>>> import scipy

  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/posixpath.py", line 404, in abspath
    path = join(os.getcwd(), path)
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory


Any thoughts?
