 hi,
 each time I update numpy from svn and try to build it, it gives an error :
 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "setup.py", line 90, in <module>
     setup_package()
   File "setup.py", line 62, in setup_package
     from numpy.distutils.core import setup
   File "/data1/sources/python/numpy-svn/numpy/__init__.py", line 39, in
 <module>
     import core
   File "/data1/sources/python/numpy-svn/numpy/core/__init__.py", line 8,
 in <module>
     import numerictypes as nt
   File "/data1/sources/python/numpy-svn/numpy/core/numerictypes.py", line
 83, in <module>
     from numpy.core.multiarray import typeinfo, ndarray, array, empty,
 dtype
 ImportError: No module named multiarray

 This error disappears, and the build stage proceeds smoothly, when I
 remove the installed scipy from the python/site-package install area.....
 Is there a way to avoid this impractical situation? Am I doing smthg
 wrong?
