Title:
  numpy headers in the include path

Status in “python-numpy” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: python-numpy

  The numpy headers of the Ubuntu are symlinked in /usr/lib. As a
  result, a Python package compiling with numpy.distutils will always
  pick up these headers, even if the numpy used is not the system numpy,
  but a localy installed numpy. Indeed, numpy.distutils will use the
  following compilation options:

  compile options: '-I/usr/include -I/home/varoquau/usr/lib/python2.6
  /site-packages/numpy/core/include -I/usr/include/python2.6 -c'

  Where the second include path points to the numpy headers of the
  locally-installed numpy, but is overriden by the general include
  '/usr/include'.

  See the following mailing list discussion for more information:
  http://mail.scipy.org/pipermail/numpy-discussion/2009-December/047376.html

  With the release of numpy 1.4, this problem will become especially
  crucial, as picking up the wrong header leads to binary
  incompatibilities.
