Ack!  Make that:

    export PYTHONPATH=$HOME/local/lib/python-2.4/site-packages
    export PYTHONPFX=$HOME/local
    cd ~/src
    cd numpy
    python setup.py install --prefix=$PYTHONPFX
    cd ../scipy
    python setup.py install --prefix=$PYTHONPFX
    cd ../matplotlib
    python setup.py install --prefix=$PYTHONPFX
    cd ../ipython
    python setup.py install --prefix=$PYTHONPFX
