Try getting the subversion version of Scipy. I know there were some
fixes to how Scipy is built on Mac OS X since 0.3.2 (which is getting
kind of old now).

Unfortunately, it doesn't look scipy.org has been updated with
instructions on pulling from Subversion, but Fernando Perez has put up
a snapshot of CVS before it was switched to subversion at

http://ipython.scipy.org/tmp/scipy_cvs_2005-07-29.tgz

This *should* build correctly on OS X.
