Hi, 
 
Due to some problems I have reinstalled scipy via 
latest cvs. python setp.py build works fine. 
However python setup.py install failed 
 
 File "scipy_distutils/core.py", line 42, in setup 
    return old_setup(**new_attr) 
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/distutils/core.py", line 138, in setup 
    dist.run_commands() 
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/distutils/dist.py", line 893, in 
run_commands 
    self.run_command(cmd) 
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/distutils/dist.py", line 913, in 
run_command 
    cmd_obj.run() 
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/distutils/command/install.py", line 495, 
in run 
    self.run_command(cmd_name) 
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/distutils/cmd.py", line 330, in 
run_command 
    self.distribution.run_command(command) 
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/distutils/dist.py", line 913, in 
run_command 
    cmd_obj.run() 
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/distutils/command/install_lib.py", line 
93, in run 
    self.byte_compile(outfiles) 
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/distutils/command/install_lib.py", line 
130, in byte_compile 
    verbose=self.verbose, dry_run=self.dry_run) 
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/distutils/util.py", line 440, in 
byte_compile 
    compile(file, cfile, dfile) 
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/py_compile.py", line 62, in compile 
    codeobject = __builtin__.compile(codestring, dfile or file, 
'exec') 
TypeError: compile() argument 1 must be string without null bytes, 
not str 
 
Any suggestion ?
