Here's EXACTLY what I did in order to build NumPy version 1.0b3:

1. Get NumPy-1.0b3.tar.gz, and NumPyLib-1.0b2.tar.gz from:

        http://www.sls.lcs.mit.edu/jjh/numpy/NumPy-1.0b3.tar.gz
        http://www.sls.lcs.mit.edu/jjh/numpy/NumPyLib-1.0b2.tar.gz

2. Unpack them in any directory:
        > cd /tmp
        > gzip -dc ~/downloads/NumPy-1.0b3.tar.gz | tar -xvf -
        > gzip -dc ~/downloads/NumPyLib-1.0b2.tar.gz | tar -xvf -

3. Copy Makefile.pre.in from <PYTHON 1.4 SOURCE>/Misc to the Numpy 
   build directory:

        > cd NumPy
        > cp Makefile.pre.in Makefile.pre.in.orig
        > cp /opt/python/src-1.4/Misc/Makefile.pre.in .

4. Create the Makefile
    
        > make -f Makefile.pre.in boot

5. Build NumPy:

        > make

   I got several innocent warnings, but everything built fine.

6. Check for the existence of "libnumpymodule.so":

        > ls lib*.so
        libnumpymodule.so*

NOTE: In order to see the command that _actually_ created 
   "libnumpymodule.so" I also did:

        > rm libnumpymodule.so
        > make
        gcc -shared arrayobject.o ufuncobject.o  -o libnumpymodule.so

Hope this helps

Nick
