Hi Marc,

Just one thing that I can think of on the top of my head. We recently made
scipy depend on arpack and superlu. They also have dependencies on blas/lapack
if you didn't rebuild them as well they may cause trouble. 

I had a similar problem recently but eselecting everything properly worked for
me. A last piece of info you could provide: are you using the main tree 
implementation or bicatali's overlay implementation?
