Philip,

I imagine Howard can give a fuller answer if needed, but I believe you
are still using the "old" python bindings which are I think still the
default in 1.4.0.

Try configuring --without-python --with-ngpython.  This should build
the version in gdal/swig/python which does use numpy instead of
Numeric.
