[SciPy-user] OSX _fitpack import problem

[Andres Gonzalez-Mancera]

David, I'm not an expert on the subject but I have Scipy installed on
Mac os 10.4.8. I wasn't successful using python 2.5 and so I
downgraded to 2.4 and everything builds out of the box with no
problems following the instructions. I don't know if the SVN version
plays nicer with 2.5 but the release version which I also used didn't.
Also remember to use:

sudo python setup.py config_fc --fcompiler=gnu95 build

if you have both g77 and gfortran installed.

I hope this helps,

Andres
