Your numpy package was built incorrectly. e_wsfe is a symbol that should be 
provided by libg2c, the FORTRAN runtime for g77.

Please ask again on the numpy mailing list and provide some more information, 
like your platform, the versions of your compilers, and some more details about 
how you went about building numpy and any errors or warnings you got.
