Chris,

The problem is this thing about the Python makefile not being
found.  Lacking the numpy include files is not usually fatal
though might mean you lack numpy integration.  Them missing
python makefile likely means you have not installed a python-dev
package or something like that. 

Or my configuration rules might be depending on Python 
methods that are no longer current.  

Would it make sense to use the FWTools linux build for
what you want?  It does include python, numpy etc.

My understanding was that if you build numpy and lack the
required libraries (blas,etc) that it would build with the
internal "lite" version.  That does not seem to be happening
for you.  

Best regards,
