Error installing scipy using pip3

Question

I am trying to install scipy on OS X 10.8.5 using pip3 as follows:

pip3 install scipy

but I get the following errors:

Can anyone help?

After uninstalling python3, pip and setuptools I reinstalled them all but still got the same error.

So I uninstalled libmpc and reinstalled it using homebrew and that worked.

brew uninstall libmpc --force
brew install libmpc
