Hi Ralf,

thanks for your answer!

I was replying to this email directly on gmane:
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.scientific.user/26559
However, it seems like I somehow messed up the replying process..

As I deleted all I've done yesterday, I gave it a new try today - which yielded different results
which I will describe here.

> 1. exact numpy/scipy versions you used (version or git commit nr)

numpy:
>>> numpy.__version__
'1.5.0'

scipy:
Recent svn checkout: revision 6845.

> 2. what patches you used

http://projects.scipy.org/numpy/ticket/1399 - this was already patched in my numpy install.
http://github.com/matthew-brett/numpy/compare/numpy:master...farchs-from-c

> 3. the build command you used and the complete build log

It now builds and installs with 
python setup.py build
python setup.py install

But I did 'export MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.6' before - read it here:
http://mail.scipy.org/pipermail/numpy-discussion/2010-August/052227.html
This is the only thing I did differently than yesterday (as far as I can remember).

However, if I now do 
>>> import scipy
>>> scipy.test()

I get some errors.

I installed gfortran via homebrew:
http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/

I think it should be 4.2.3, as 'brew info gfortran' gives me

$ brew info gfortran
gfortran 4.2.4-5664
http://r.research.att.com/tools/
/usr/local/Cellar/gfortran/4.2.4-5664 (28 files, 83M)

But gfortran itself tells me otherwise:
$ gfortran --version
GNU Fortran (GCC) 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5664)
