This is probably a 'no-no' because I already posted this on StackOverflow but maybe this is a better place, since maybe more folks here have dealt with this than on StackOverflow.

I have numpy, Xcode 4.5.1, Python 2.7.3, and gfortran 4.2.4-5666.3 installed. The latter I installed from Homebrew, which it put in /usr/local/Cellar. Running setup.py in the scipy folder results in the familiar "Could not locate executable " errors. I grep'd for where these compilers are referenced to try to point Python to the right place but came up with nothing. Any ideas? Many thanks.

This question really is on topic on SO and not here, so your chances are likely better there too. Besides, SE discourages simultaneous cross-posting of questions. – whuber♦ Oct 25 '12 at 21:35
Try Chris Fonnesbeck's Scipy Superpack or do like me: compile everything from scratch :-) – chl♦ Oct 25 '12 at 21:41
Try this: sourceforge.net/projects/scipy/files (I had problems with installing SciPy at Mac, but it finally worked). But... what do you mean, that you installed Fortran (gfortran?) at Cellar? And what was the exact error? (Maybe you tried to use a different architecture...); @chi for mi Scipt Superpack didn't work for some reason (with the mad girlfriend error status); it's a pity since my point was to install sk-learn. – Piotr Migdal Oct 25 '12 at 22:08
