[SciPy-dev] FC3 successes and OS X issues with current revisions

Just installed the current SVN revisions (numpy 1862, scipy 1544) 
on FC3 and OS X (10.3.9), with FFTW2 on both platforms.

On both platforms, numpy.test(1,1) runs without errors---yippee!

On both platforms, "import scipy" complains about overwriting fft
and ifft.

>>> import scipy
scipy.Overwriting fft=<function fft at 0x1147530> from scipy.fftpack.basic (was <function fft at 0x1041fb0> from numpy.dft.fftpack)
Overwriting ifft=<function ifft at 0x1147570> from scipy.fftpack.basic (was <function inverse_fft at 0x1047030> from numpy.dft.fftpack)

On FC3, scipy.test() showed one failure with stats, in test_gamma.  The
failure message indicated it was attempting a small pvalue
calculation.  I thought it could be a statistical fluke (do enough
significance tests and you expect one to fail); a repeated scipy.test()
has no failures.  Yippee!  Perhaps this slight complexity with
stats tests should be mentioned somewhere in the install docs.
I've seen it once before.

On OS X, scipy.test() gives the "empty cblas, clapack" warnings Chris
mentioned earlier (in comparison, numarray verifies it is using
"external linear algebra support).  It gives 10 failures, copied
below.  The fft failures are notable because of the import complaint.
A simple "by hand" test shows that numpy.fft and numpy.ifft appear to
work fine, but scipy.fft and scipy.ifft have problems (the real part of
ifft(fft(x)) does not equal x; largest differences are order unity).
scipy passed this "by hand" test yesterday on OS X; it also passes
it today on FC3.

I also installed numarray on both platforms from CVS.  On FC3, the
numarray tests stall at "fft" .  Ctl-C gets no response; I had to stop
the job and kill it via "kill".  The tests all ran an passed
last week.  I don't know if there is any interaction with numpy/scipy
in this regard.  In contrast, the tests all *pass* on OS X, even
the fft test.  It's weird that on FC 3, scipy passes but numarray
fails fft tests, while on OS X the reverse is true.  FWIW I
reinstalled FFTW2 yesterday on OS X (*before* I installed
yesterday's scipy svn, which *passed* my "by hand" fft test).

I also installed mpl-0.86 from PyPI on FC3.  Apart from the
fft overwrite complaints, it appears to work fine on a
selection of example files.  Even the specgram example
works, producing a plot looking like it always has.
The boxplot demo fails, but I haven't looked into the problem;
I doubt it is a scipy issue.  The OS X install is still
running (it's an old, slow G3!).
