How did you build scipy? This works fine for me, though you'll want to
run the tests from the command line since you're not putting scipy on
the path.

[~/src/scipy-skipper] (master)
|11 $ nosetests scipy
<snip>
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 6116 tests in 387.441s

FAILED (SKIP=28, errors=16, failures=19)

Otherwise, you might try doing

nosetest --exe scipy

though I can't imagine why the tests would have the executable bit set
in your source directory.
