This is going to be a problem:

You've installed a numpy for python 2.3 on python 2.4.3 That won't work 
right.

I'm pretty sure numpy builds just fine with the universal python with 
the standard:

$ python2.4 setup.py build
$ sudo python2.4 setup.py install

That should work, if you're running a PPC Mac, but I've never tried it. 
Does it come with it's own numpy? it may well, and the numpy you 
installed probably got put into Apple's python 2.3.5

Are you getting python 2.4 when you do that?

Ideally, you'll get the best answers from the folks that are building 
SciPy for OS-X. I'm not sure who that is, but I bet you can find them on 
the SciPy lists.
