Great!

FYI: it works for me on MacOS X 10.5.8 with python.org python 2.6.6:

python setup.py build --fcompiler=gnu95
python setup.py install
cd ..
python -Wd -c 'import numpy; numpy.test()'

NumPy version 1.6.0b1
NumPy is installed in 
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/site-pack
ages/numpy
Python version 2.6.6 (r266:84374, Aug 31 2010, 11:00:51) [GCC 4.0.1 
(Apple Inc. build 5493)]
nose version 0.11.4
...
Ran 3399 tests in 25.474s

OK (KNOWNFAIL=3, SKIP=1)
