make dockest is raising failures

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Running the examples from the autocorrelation I reproduce the expected results:

    Doctest mode is: ON
    >>> import pysal
    >>> import numpy as np
    >>> np.random.seed(12345)
    >>> w=pysal.lat2W(4,4)
    >>> y=np.ones(16)
    >>> y[0:8]=0
    >>> g = pysal.Gamma(y,w)
    >>> g.g
    20.0
    >>> g.g_z
    3.1879280354548638
    >>> g.min_g
    0.0
    >>> g.max_g
    20.0
    >>> g.mean_g
    11.093093093093094
    >>> 

But when running make doctest we get different results which triggers failures:

Why the difference?

we were missing setting of the random seed
