Make that scipy.fft and scipy.ifft and the answer is yes. Just to be 
clear here is what I did.
rm -rf .../site-packages/scipy/
cd core
python setup.py install
cd ..

Then the test runs fine using scipy.fft and scipy.ifft .

When I
cd scipy
python setup.py install
cd ..

Then the test fails. I guess that means there is a problem in how the 
scipy package links with fftw-2.1.5.

What is the best way to figure out where the problem is??
