[SciPy-user] Problems with fftpack on OS X 10.4

[Tim Gray]

Hi, I am a very happy (new) user of scipy (CVS), matplotlib (.74), and python (2.4.1) for analysis and plotting of scientific data.  I have been running a CVS version of scipy on my computer at work, which is running OS X 10.3.8.  Everything has been wonderful there.  

However, on my personal computer, I recently upgraded to OS X 10.4.  I reinstalled all my python packages and got everything working, except for scipy (again, the current CVS build).  Scipy seemed to build ok, but when I call anything in fftpack, I get the error at the end of this post.  I recompiled fftw (2.1.5) and ran make check (or test?  they all passed) before rebuilding scipy, but the error remains.  Any help would be appreciated.  

Thanks!
