So it's not your code?  If it's not your own code then, nail down what the 
required external modules are, since that's important to know.  Look for 
the word "Numeric" in their sources: if that's what they use, then they 
are using the older Numeric module, and not the numpy module that you've 
installed.

In your case, assuming the old code is Numeric, I'd recommend just 
installing the old Numeric module as well.  We want to avoid any weird 
backward-compatibility issues that might come up with numpy.

(You can try to migrating that code to numpy later, once you're on a 
stable Numeric platform.  See the top of http://numpy.scipy.org/ which 
mentions a program called numpy.oldnumeric.alter_code1 that should address 
this.)

You can find Numeric here:
