[Numpy-discussion] numpy1.04b4: undefined symbol: PyUnicodeUCS2_FromUnicode. error No _WIN32

Numpy builds, but fails to run with the error message:

Build was without BLAS or LAPACK. Results were the same when Intel MKL
was used.

Any pointers would be much appreciated. This isn't the first time I've
spent days trying to get SciPy built under SUSE... :(
