Most likely your build of scipy was built with an ATLAS library that uses SSE2 instructions (IIRC) while your processor doesn't support those instructions. The solution is to rebuild scipy with an ATLAS library built for your platform. You will want to ask more scipy questions on the scipy lists, though: http://www.scipy.org/Mailing_Lists -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
