It should work. So, could you give more details here?

Let me play a little detective here. You seem to have both Python 1.5.x
and Python 2.2 installed. When you installed f2py, did you use Python
1.5.x? That is, the command

  python setup.py install

? You should install f2py using Python 2.2 instead. So, the correct
installation command would be

  python2.2 setup.py install

and getting the version of f2py reads then

  f2py2.2 -v

This output is not very useful as nothing is done here. Could you remove
the build directory and send the stdout/stderr messages of the
scipy building command (exactly this command that follows build/
removal, all subsequent building commands may lack some information)?
 
You can send these messages directly to me as there is no need to float
the scipy-users mailing list with these huge messages.. (but first resolve
the f2py issue, of course).
