[SciPy-user] help with scipy installation

[Travis N. Vaught]

You might look at the response here:

html

but it occurs to me now that there may be a problem with the source tarballs
that you downloaded.

Anyway, a *build* should work from the latest cvs sources (not the
tarballs), since I see a gistCmodule.c in the cvs repository--not sure why
it's not in the tarball.

cvs instructions are here:
