[SciPy-User] SciPy installation problems

[Gaston Fiore]

Hello,

I'm trying to install scipy from the SVN repository but I'm getting an
error. I've also discovered that numpy doesn't pass the built-in unit
tests, although it did seem to install without problems. Below is all
the information that I think it's needed to determine the problem and
its solution. Is it the fact that UMFPACK is missing?

Thanks a lot,

-Gaston
