What ever i try satifying dependencies (python, ATLAS, lapack, djbfft etc.etc.) every avenue seems blocked. Is there a way to install scipy on fc4? I would love to use it but it's a science to get it running in the first place.

Hi Felis,
Our website and documentation are a real mess at the moment. First off,
you probably want the newer version 0.8.4 of scipy core. It's available
from the Download link at http://numeric.scipy.org/. Get the file
called scipy_core-0.8.4.tar.gz, unpack it, and run "python setup.py
install" (as root) from the source directory. But before doing this
completely remove the existing installation, e.g. with:
rm -Rf /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/scipy
as root.
Then test it out with
>>> import scipy
>>> scipy.test()
If all's well and you want to install full scipy too, I suggest you get
it from subversion:
svn co http://svn.scipy.org/svn/scipy/trunk scipy
cd scipy
python setup.py install
If you have any problems see the last few months' posts to this mailing
list.
