numpy.distutils shouldn't be changing any of that. I'm guessing there
is something else wrong.

1. Make sure you do not have a ~/.pydistutils.cfg or setup.cfg file
setting the install path.

2. Which Python are you using? Are you sure that you are using the
same python executable for installing numpy as the other package?

3. What is this ${prefix} that you are referring to?

4. Make a simple pure-Python dummy package with a trivial setup.py.
Try it both with "from distutils.core import setup" and "from
numpy.distutils.core import setup". See where they each install to.
Both work identically for me.
