It seems that every thing has built without incident (numarray, numeric,
mxtexttools, pil, reportlab, just to name a few), with the exception,
strangely enough, of python2.5 itself. Python required hiding previous
python installations.

Sorry. To clarify, making libpython2.5a available in a $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
was necessary to build numpy and scipy.

This output from the check is here:

I'm not sure if this is relevant to what you see in the check, but I
installed scipy_distutils AFTER installing scipy.

For symmetry, similar output for numpy is posted here:
http://www.jamesstroud.com/build-scipy-logs/build-numpy-py2.5-euler.txt
Please let me know if I can be of any further help with these issues.
