Getting closer, now it can't find linalg. Perhaps I have the wrong 'numpy' installed?
I don't know about Ubuntu but on Debian python-numeric and python-numpy are two different packages. I'm pretty sure the latter is the one that you want as NumPy is a replacement for the older Numeric which is no longer maintained.

Not sure which one is it: Numeric:$ apt-cache search numpy python-numarray - An array processing package modelled after Python-Numeric python-numeric - Numerical (matrix-oriented) Mathematics for Python python2.4-numarray - An array processing package modelled after Python-Numeric python2.4-numeric - Numerical (matrix-oriented) Mathematics for Python
I'll try a few.

In Kubuntu Edgy (wtf ... 6.10. I hate those cute names) its python-numpy... and even then, the one in the repository is a release candidate.
If that doesn't work ...
You might look at backports.
Next would be the official tarball from sourceforge (I compile from svn) into /usr/local. IIRC, there are no prerequisites. Just cd to the directory that contains setup.py and do
sudo python setup.py install --prefix=/usr/local
You *don't want* Numeric or Numarray. They are both deprecated, and the api is different. In general, one doesn't expect them to work anymore, but they might if you're lucky. If Inkscape says "numpy" I would think that means the other two won't work.

Numarray isn't right either, it is yet another, somewhat depreciated, implementation of array objects. See this page if you want to know the history:
As for a NumPy package this is the one you want:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/edgy/python/python-numpy
Good luck,
Thanks for the links - I'm a bit worried about the 'edgy' bit cos I'm on Dapper. I see it depends on other stuff and that usually starts a ball of hell rolling :D
