Dear developers,

I installed the development version (the latest would not compile due to VecLib) of SciPy from source:

$ git clone https://github.com/scipy/scipy.git

$ git show
commit 6981d8b
Merge: a4d9a6d cc900a5

$ python setup.py build
[see attachment]

$ python setup.py install
[see attachment]

So far, so good. But, when I tried to run the unit tests (I verified this is the only scipy installation on my computer), I get many unit test failures:

$ python -c "import scipy; scipy.test('full')"
[see attachment]

Most seem to be related to arpack. I am really uncomfortable using this scipy installation, and feel that if building succeeds, the unit tests should run without failures. Is there any remedy?

I have attached my environment (both homebrew installed packages and the build environment as well).
