[SciPy-User] Trouble installing scipy after upgrading to Mac OS X 10.7 aka Lion

[Bill Carithers]

Hi Ben,

thanks for the info. I was happy just to get it to compile and I didn't run a full slate of tests.

Cheers,
Bill

But, even with new checkouts of scipy, I found that simply running 'python setup.py install' did not result in a version of scipy that worked correctly on Mac OSX 10.7 (for example, using scipy.fftpack, ifft(fft(signal)) != signal, problems with single precision vector arithmetic, failures and a crash in ARPACK tests). I was able to fix these by setting:
