You don't seem to be replying to another email, so I'm not sure
exactly what you did. Can you please give us:
1. exact numpy/scipy versions you used (version or git commit nr)
2. what patches you used
3. the build command you used and the complete build log
4. gfortran details (see below)

The recommended gfortran is from http://r.research.att.com/tools/, the
version should be 4.2.3. Where did you get yours?
