[SciPy-user] SciPy SVN installation problem with Python-2.4

[Gerard Vermeulen]

Hi,

My builds (part of a self-hacked Gentoo ebuild which was working
before) of SciPy SVN with Python-2.4 die with:

running build_clib
customize UnixCCompiler
customize UnixCCompiler using build_clib
customize Gnu95FCompiler
Found executable /usr/bin/gfortran
Found executable /usr/bin/gfortran
Traceback (most recent call last):

No problems with Python-2.5.
