Comment:

 I'd like to add that this warning is also issued for NumPy 2.0.0.dev-
 900d82e on OS X Lion 10.7.1 with Python version 2.7.2 built with homebrew
 (default, Sep  5 2011, 10:50:07) [GCC 4.2.1 (Based on Apple Inc. build
 5658) (LLVM build 2335.15.00)].
 I assume that this warning is also present in 1.6.x of numpy

 I built NumPy as suggested:
 {{{
 export CC=gcc-4.2
 export CXX=g++-4.2
 export FFLAGS=-ff2c
 python setup.py build --fcompiler=gfortran
 python setup.py install
 }}}

 Here is the excerpt of the warning that is printed during the nose tests
 of numpy.
 {{{
 numpy/core/numeric.py:2020: RuntimeWarning: invalid value encountered in
 absolute
   return all(less_equal(absolute(x-y), atol + rtol * absolute(y)))
 }}}
