[SciPy-user] Problem installing scipy on Gentoo amd64

[Bill Dandreta]

I think we need to find out what is causing the problem. It may not be a 
problem with scipy per se but maybe one or more of the dependecies are 
compiled with incompatible switches. It could also be a kernel problem, 
I get a segemtation fault with wvdial if any problem occurs (like using 
Ctl-c to terminate the program) on amd64 but not on x86_32.
