Mike -- I don't set the UMFPACK environmental variable, and setup.py
is still able to detect that umfpack isn't available.  I've just
done an svn update to revision 4478 and rebuilt scipy from
scratch.  The output from the build is at:

http://clouds.eos.ubc.ca/~phil/pubdocs/scipy/build_output.txt

where at line 153 I've got:

umfpack_info:
   libraries umfpack not found in /home/phil/usr251_Centos/lib
   libraries umfpack not found in /usr/local/lib
   libraries umfpack not found in /usr/lib

UserWarning:

     not found. Directories to search for the libraries can be specified 
in the
     numpy/distutils/site.cfg file (section [umfpack]) or by setting
     the UMFPACK environment variable.
   warnings.warn(self.notfounderror.__doc__)

I've also copied the results from

~ phil@owl% python -c 'import scipy; scipy.test("fast")'

to

While we're on this topic, does anyone know why build_output.txt
reports (line 41)  a failure to find an F90 compiler
