Failure on Archlinux 64bit, Python 2.7.3, Numpy 1.6.1:

This is what I did:

mkvirtualenv --system-site-packages --distribute scipy_test_rc1
cd ~/.virtualenvs/scipy_test_rc1
mkdir src
wget -O src/scipy-0.11.0rc1.tar.gz
"http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/scipy/scipy/0.11.0rc1/scipy-0.11.0rc1.tar.gz?r=http%3A%2F%2Fsourceforge.net%2Fprojects%2Fscipy%2Ffiles%2Fscipy%2F0.11.0rc1%2F&ts=1342772081&use_mirror=netcologne"
cd src
tar xzf scipy-0.11.0rc1.tar.gz
cd scipy-0.11.0rc1
python setup.py build
python setup.py install
cd
python -c "import scipy; scipy.test('full')"
