Actually this doesn't help. Trying to catch the problem I realised  
that I only installed the 'scipy_core-0.4.1', which is obviously  
missing some stuff (if I have well understood). So I tried to  
complete my installation with the old NumPy (which installed fine)  
and f2py2e (which returned some conflicts warnings). Then I tried to  
compile and install the last complete scipy: SciPy_complete-0.3.2.

The setup doesn't complete and it exits. I found lots of __init__.py  
files missing:

package init file 'scipy_core/weave/tests/__init__.py' not found (or  
not a regular file)
package init file 'Lib/tests/__init__.py' not found (or not a regular  
file)
package init file '/Users/mauro/Desktop/python/extra modules/ 
SciPy_complete-0.3.2/Lib/cluster/tests/__init__.py' not found (or not  
a regular file)

And lots of these conflicts:

gcc: Lib/special/cephes/powi.c
In file included from Lib/special/cephes/mconf_BE.h:190,
                  from Lib/special/cephes/mconf.h:3,
                  from Lib/special/cephes/powi.c:46:
Lib/special/cephes/protos.h:27: warning: conflicting types for built- 
in function 'cexp'
Lib/special/cephes/protos.h:28: warning: conflicting types for built-

Lib/special/cephes/protos.h:29: warning: conflicting types for built- 
in function 'ccos'
Lib/special/cephes/protos.h:30: warning: conflicting types for built- 
in function 'ctan'

Finally the install exit this way:

dcosqb.o" failed with exit status 127

I have to add that I am running this from a Macintosh running OS X  
10.4.2.
Can anybody suggest something else to try?

Thanks


Mauro
