Hi Sebastian,

I've don't recall seeing anything like this,  nor can I reproduce it 
now.   If you've been following numarray for a while now,  I can say 
that it is important to remove the old version of numarray before 
installing the new version.   I recommend deleting your current 
installation and reinstalling numarray.

compress() is a ufunc,  much like add() or put().  It is defined in 
ndarray.py,  right after the import of the modules ufunc and _ufunc.   
_ufunc in particular is a problematic module,  because it has followed 
the atypical development path of moving from C-code to Python code. 
 Because of this, and the fact that a .so or .dll overrides a .py, 
 older installations interfere with newer ones.  The atypical path was 
required because the original _ufuncmodule.c was so large that it could 
not be compiled on some systems;  as a result,  I split _ufuncmodule.c 
into pieces by data type and now use _ufunc.py to glue the pieces together.

Good luck!    Please let me know if reinstalling doesn't clear up the 
problem.
