title: Trouble installing SciPy on windows
body: <p>I have Python 2.7 and NumPy installed.  I have downloaded pre-built binaries for SciPy, but the install script fails with this error:</p>
  
  <p>Blas <code>(http://www.netlib.org/blas/)</code> libraries not found.
  Directories to search for the libraries can be specified in the
  <code>numpy/distutils/site.cfg</code> file (section <code>[blas]</code>) or by setting
  the BLAS environment variable.</p>
  
  <p>I really don't know enough about this to fool with it.  I assumed it was a straightforward install process, but doesn't appear to be.  I googled for the BLAS environment variable, but couldn't find anything that seemed appropriate.  Any help is appreciated.</p>

  <p>EDIT: Nevermind, I found an unofficial <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/scipy/files/scipy/0.11.0/" rel="noreferrer">installer exe</a>.</p>
