Did you make the symbolic link from Numeric into the Lib directory?  I
think that this should fix the problem, but if it doesn't I'll add the note
(and a patched version of Makefile.in).

I agree the path is needed, anything else?

I usually just directly add NumPy to my include directories, I need to
think about this one.

When you're building a system on both Solaris and Windows NT, strange
things can happen to your files.  Just be glad that this time I remembered
to strip the "^M"'s from the Unix distribution.  ;-)
