I am also trying to install numpy 1.4 and observing exactly the same
symptoms as Kevin (unsurprisingly, since it's a very similar
installation: BuildVersion of 10.5.8 is 9L31a, otherwise identical).
I can also reproduce the problem with the 2.5 version of the 1.4 rc1
numpy DMG (with macpython 2.5.4 from python.org -- it refuses to
install using Apple's own 2.5.1).  Is there any known-to-work way to
install numpy 1.4 on Mac OS X 10.5.8, and Python either 2.5 or 2.6?
Guess next I'll try building from sources...
