Sorry, I misread the output messages: g77 was in /usr/local but that 
shouldn't matter. I tested on Linux, if python executable is
/usr/bin/python then
  sys.executable.startswith('/usr/bin')
returns True, so the above codelet should be correct.

Try installing scipy_core (from CVS) first and then build scipy.

I don't know. Yes, I guess as I have recieved patches from fink users.
But why shouldn't they, fink is existing and so there must be also users..
