Your scipy installation may not be correct so I would suggest 
reinstalling the existing scipy. Just make sure that 
/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/scipy is gone or at least totally 
empty before you do actually installation.

Also:
If you installed a scipy package then make sure you got all the correct 
packages for your system.
If you built it from source then first make sure to clean out your build 
directory.
