Error installing scipy library through pip on python 3: “compile failed with error code 1”

Question

I'm trying to install scipy library through pip on python 3.3.5. By the end of the script, i'm getting this error:

Command /usr/local/opt/python3/bin/python3.3 -c "import setuptools, tokenize;file='/private/tmp/pip_build_root/scipy/setup.py';exec(compile(getattr(tokenize, 'open', open)(file).read().replace('\r\n', '\n'), file, 'exec'))" install --record /tmp/pip-9r7808-record/install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed --compile failed with error code 1 in /private/tmp/pip_build_root/scipy Storing debug log for failure in /Users/dan/.pip/pip.log

blas_mkl_info: libraries mkl,vml,guide not found. So is this a dependency issue? How can I get these libraries? — Daniyal

I was getting the same thing when using pip, I went to the install and it pointed to the following dependencies.

sudo apt-get install python python-dev libatlas-base-dev gcc gfortran g++
