[SciPy-User] Lots of warnings, errors and a segmentation fault in scipy.test()

[Gerrit Holl]

Hi,

I recently installed scipy from source ("bleeding edge"). When running
the test, I get a lot of warnings and errors, and finally fail with a
segmentation fault:

Paste from http://bpaste.net/show/11710/ repeated below. I didn't get
any relevant warnings during compilation. Should I be worried? What
can I run in addition to track this down?

$ python -c "import scipy; scipy.test()"
