This package cannot be safely installed by EasyInstall, and may not support alternate installation locations even if you run its setup script by hand. Please inform the package's author and the EasyInstall maintainers to find out if a fix or workaround is available. ------
AFAIK this is a bug/conflict in numpy.distutils or setuptools (hard to say which one is wrong, but they do raise this problem). I think the issue goes away if you rerun the easy_install command several times. Each times it seems to go further. Gaël
