Sure.  The following script will produce the plots:


#!/usr/bin/python

from pylab import *
import scipy as S
import scipy.fftpack as SF

a=zeros(1000)
a[:100]=1
b=S.fft(a)
c=SF.fft(a)
figure(1)
plot(abs(b))
show(1)
figure(2)
plot(abs(c))
show(2)

and scipy was compiled using the FFTW library.  The only thing I can thinkk of
would be to recompile not using it.

Hope that helps.  I really hope I have not done something stupid and missed it.
 Anyway, thanks again everyone!
