That's not the output of the thing that failed. The build succeeded, but the
following step, trying to run the unit tests, failed.

It appears to me that there is some confusion about which Python is being
executed. The tests seem to expect Python 2.5:

  sys.path=["numpy-install/lib/python2.5/site-packages"]

whereas the install is picking up Python 2.3:

  byte-compiling ../numpy-install/lib/python2.3/site-packages/numpy/dual.py to
dual.pyc

Barry, can you check this and make sure that the correct Python gets picked up
during the build? Thanks.

Those aren't errors that would stop the build; they just tell the config command
that isnan() and isinf() aren't available on the platform.
