Hi,
Every time I try to install SciPy, I get the following error:

$ pip install scipy
Downloading/unpacking scipy
   Running setup.py egg_info for package scipy
     Traceback (most recent call last):
       File "<string>", line 14, in <module>
       File "/Users/elifinkelshteyn/build/scipy/setup.py", line 181, in

         setup_package()
       File "/Users/elifinkelshteyn/build/scipy/setup.py", line 131, in

         import multiarray
     ImportError: dynamic module does not define init function 
(initmultiarray)

I've tried installing from source by cloning from Git, installing 
through pip, installing through easy_install. Nothing works. I'm running 
everything through OS X 10.6 with Homebrew and using Python 2.7. Numpy 
is installed and works fine. gfortran is installed as well. I've 
searched up and down Google and found no answers. Anyone experience 
anything like this, or have an idea of how to fix it?
