[SciPy-user] scipy compilation succeeds, test fails

[Michele Mazzucco]

Hi all,

I've just built SciPy on an Intel Mac OS 10.4, python 2.5.1, gcc
4.0.1, gfortran 4.3.0 and fftw 3.1.2.
I've followed the instructions described here [1]. I can successfully
install the library, howevever the call to
scipy.test(1,10)
fails:

======================================================================

The call numpy.test(1,10) succeeds. Any idea?

Thanks,
Michele
