[SciPy-user] Test failure on OS X Leopard

Hi,

I installed NumPy (1.1) and SciPy (0.6) both from source on OS X
(Leopard 10.5.3) . I removed existing numpy/scipy libraries. Both
install with no errors. And numpy.test() passes all tests. However,
running:

>>> import scipy
>>> scipy.test();
fails with:
....................................................................................................................warning:
specified build_dir '_bad_path_' does not exist or is not writable.
Trying default locations
.....warning: specified build_dir '_bad_path_' does not exist or is

Is this bad? A problem? It seems to be related to LAPACK/BLAS but on
install SciPy said it detected LAPACK/BLAST.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks,
Jonny
