<p dir="auto">I am in the process of following the exact steps as mentioned in the scipy contributer guide in order to obtain a development version of scipy . When I run the code ' python3 runtests.py -v ' on terminal , on after passing 22% of the test , it gives an error :</p>
<p dir="auto">scipy/linalg/tests/test_decomp.py::TestEigh::test_eigh_integer realloc(): invalid next size<br>
Fatal Python error: Aborted</p>
<p dir="auto">Sorry its not really possible to reproduce the error.</p>

<p dir="auto">Hello!</p>
<p dir="auto">I'm a first-time contributor and attempting to set up a dev environment by following the instructions here: <a href="https://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy/reference/dev/contributor/quickstart_ubuntu.html#quickstart-ubuntu" rel="nofollow">https://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy/reference/dev/contributor/quickstart_ubuntu.html#quickstart-ubuntu</a></p>
<p dir="auto">on step 19, I'm trying to run the runtests.py file but I am getting the following:<br>
<code class="notranslate">scipy/linalg/tests/test_decomp.py::TestEigh::test_eigh_integer realloc(): invalid next size Fatal Python error: Aborted </code> at 21% completed.</p>
<p dir="auto">I'm sure this is not an actual bug, so apologies if this isn't the right place to post this, but I really want to contribute to SciPy and I haven't managed to find any sort of fix to this from googling. I also recently installed Ubuntu to go through this set up so there may be some sort of issue there.</p>
