Fortunately you can find precompiled blas, scipy and numpy (pkg_add -r py-numpy works). But i was out of luck with matplotlib, which required pkg_adding gcc-42 and then compiling tons of stuff. One of them (agg, i think, requires DISPLAY to be set and accessible in the configure script !!!) hence breaks the build for matplotlib. -- Michel TALON
