[SciPy-user] OS X using 2.3

[Christopher Fonnesbeck]

Well, things are better now that I am using the python2.3 framework,  
rather than 2.2 that comes with OS X 10.2.6. Weave runs the test  
without error (and pretty quickly, at that!). Scipy, however, still  
dies, now during the statistical section:

... plus about 70 failures that I will not trouble you with.

Are these the errors that were anticipated?

The other problem I get is with plotting using scipy.gplt. I get a  
broken pipe error, even though I have gnuplot installed:
