scipy.test leaves darwin27compiled_catalog, cpp and so files behind in working directory (Trac #1567)

Original ticket http://projects.scipy.org/scipy/ticket/1567 on 2011-11-23 by trac user deil, assigned to unknown.

I've had some problems building numpy and scipy on Mac OS X Lion with clang, see

I see test failures which I think are known (Ticket gh-2048), but in addition running the tests left behind a bunch of files in the working directory:

Why did weave create (or at least not clean up) those files in my working directory (which was $HOME)?

The full build and test logs are here:

Note that there are many different RuntimeWarnings and one test failure that doesn't have ARPACK in its name and might be new:

======================================================================

The test files left behind are a known problem when running test('full'). Unfortunately no one has yet made the time to clean this up - weave is very much orphaned.

Finally figured this one out. Fix is coming.
