Please do the following:

$ python
>>> import numpy
>>> print numpy.__file__


That should show you where the numpy on your sys.path is. Double-check
that it is in the place you think it is. If so, move to that directory
(e.g. /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/numpy/) and show us what is in
there:

$ cd /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/numpy/
$ ls
....
