Except I am already using the first installation method.

This works, but there is another problem (and solution): for "make
install" to find the NumPy stuff, you have to edit the line where it says

LIBSUBDIRS=     stdwin tkinter test $(MACHDEPS)

and change it to

LIBSUBDIRS=     stdwin tkinter test $(MACHDEPS) NumPy

Then it correctly transfers those files. This is better, but I still get:
