In Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid), I could successfully pip install scipy
(within a virtualenv) after installing some of its dependencies, in particular:
$ sudo apt-get install libamd2.2.0 libblas3gf libc6 libgcc1 libgfortran3 liblapack3gf libumfpack5.4.0 libstdc++6 build-essential gfortran libatlas-sse2-dev python-all-dev
An attempt to easy_install
indicates a problem with their listing in the Python Package Index, which pip searches.
easy_install scipy

All is not lost, however; pip
can install from Subversion (SVN), Git, Mercurial, and Bazaar repositories. SciPy uses SVN:
pip install svn+http://svn.scipy.org/svn/scipy/trunk/#egg=scipy
Update (12-2012):
pip install git+https://github.com/scipy/scipy.git
Since NumPy is a dependency, it should be installed as well.
