I had a similar problem (not sure if it's yours).  I
was told to install the gfortran compiler for scipy
and numpy.  I did and that enabled the install.

Here are my notes.  I hope they are understandable and
they help.  I think Robert Kern straightened me out on
this, so he gets the credit.  If I'm wrong, of course,
that's not Robert's fault.  

* Installing gfortran (needed for SciPy & NumPy):

 Get gfortran from  http://r.research.att.com/tools/
(.dmg file)

 Run the install package on the .dmg. (note it gives
you an uninstall, too)

 Add the paths /usr/local and /usr/local/bin to the
$PATH variable in the .profile startup file so other
apps can access the compiler and related stuff


Let me know if it works.  I like to keep on top of
this since these things seem to change at times and
little things like this can trip you up.
