If you have extra pointers, I've posted some instructions on this topic at 
http://www.scipy.org/Members/fperez/PerezCVSBuild.htm

Feel free to comment/fix or add information about what may be different for
other distros. I think the easier we can make life for those willing to use
cvs, the better off we'll be in the long run.

Why don't you try a clean rebuild/install?

cd your_scipy_cvs/
rm -rf build
./setup.py build
pushd /usr/lib/python/site-packages/
rm -rf scipy*
popd
./setup.py install

and see what happens? That worked for me as of yesterday's code.

Good luck,
