[Numpy-discussion] numpy install on mac os x 10.4

One of the reasons I was dorking around w/numpy again is because of a  
problem I ran into wrt scipy (this was when I was obtaining both from  
http://www.macpython.org/packages/py24-fat/index.html). Turns out  
that doing:

 >>> import scipy
 >>> scipy.test()

produced:

  Python 2.4.4 (#1, Oct 18 2006, 10:34:39)
  [GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5341)] on darwin
  Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
  history mechanism set up
   >>> from scipy import *
  RuntimeError: module compiled against version 1000002 of C-API but
  this version of numpy is 1000009
  Traceback (most recent call last):
     File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
     File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/
  python2.4/site-packages/scipy/io/__init__.py", line 8, in ?
       from numpyio import packbits, unpackbits, bswap, fread, fwrite, \
  ImportError: numpy.core.multiarray failed to import
  >>>

So I decided to try easy_install on both. Interestingly, the  
easy_install removed a sole (non-important) error when running  
numpy.test(), but I can't even get scipy to install into the site- 
packages directory; easy_install fails before it can do that  
(appended below). I am at my wits end.

Advice on a painless way to install scipy on my G5 OS X 10.4.8 mac  
greatly appreciated.
