Please provide the full output of the error messages and the full
build log (it's probably too big to attach to the list; you may need
to post it somewhere and show us the URL).

What Fortran compiler are you using and what version? Please state
exactly what website you downloaded it from.

Please show us the output of

  $ file site-packages/scipy/linalg/flapack.so

Probably, the required architecture flags have changed for the build
of Python on Snow Leopard and numpy.distutils needs to be updated.
