This is correct. No such directory should exist.

I am not familiar with the Cantera build process. You will probably
need to ask the Cantera developers.

You could probably replace the line in setup.py.in (sorry if this is
not exactly right; I only downloaded the 1.7.0 sources, which still
uses numarray):

  numpy_incl = "@NUMPY_INC_DIR@"

to:

  import numpy
  numpy_incl = numpy.get_include()

Then the value of NUMPY_INC_DIR will not matter.
