Oops, this is indeed a scikits.sparse bug. Thanks for the reminder,
actually -- it came up before, but I forgot to commit the fix for the
next release...

Anyway, the solution is to edit setup.py:
1) near the top, add the line:
  from numpy.distutils.misc_util import get_numpy_include_dirs

2) near the bottom, where it says:
              Extension("scikits.sparse.cholmod",
                        ["scikits/sparse/cholmod.pyx"],
                        libraries=["cholmod"],
                        ),
add an include_dirs line, like:
              Extension("scikits.sparse.cholmod",
                        ["scikits/sparse/cholmod.pyx"],
                        libraries=["cholmod"],
                        include_dirs=get_numpy_include_dirs(),
                        ),

This will be in the next release, of course.
