[SciPy-user] Installation SciPy on FC5

[Lorenzo Isella]

Dear All,
I am running Fedora Core 5 on my desktop at work and I would like to
install SciPy to run some simulations.
Now, I have only the basic repositories enabled and I do not have a
the SciPy library available.
I went to the SciPy homepage and the download & installation of NumPy
went fine, but I am experiencing some problems with SciPy, due to
missing dependencies.
Here is the output of my latest attempt:

Before ending up in dependency hell (I tried installing Blas and it
went like a breeze, but something went wrong when I tried with Atlas),
I would like to know if there is a smarter way of doing this.
Many thanks for your help.
