Hi Jerry, Sorry the missing details - but well spotted: I do use ubuntu and it was with the 12.04 upgrade that I experienced the issue. Your advice was spot on - sudo apt-get install python-numpy solved the job, and when I ran pip afterwards I received the message that "requirements are already satisfied".
Thank you again - I will keep it in mind that "apt-get install python-some_packages" may be the right way about it on ubuntu.
