Are you sure that you 

 1) 'rm -rf build'   before rebuilding

 2) are using the python / Numeric that you think you are, eg, might
    you have one python in /usr/bin and another in /usr/local.  root
    paths can differ from user paths which may effect which python is
    used at install time versus run time
