ok, easy fix, but i really need to update the autoconfig script.
the "problem" is that you have Numeric python installed, but not the 
Numeric headers. (thus my config stuff gets a little confused). you have 
two options..

install the "Numeric-dev" package for your system. this problem comes up 
on platforms that separate Numeric into a Numeric and Numeric-dev 
package. once that is installed, rerun and you'll be installed fine, 
with full "surfarray" support.

the other option is to simply disable surfarray/Numeric support. edit 
the "Setup" file in that directory, and comment out the line for 
surfarray (should be around line 32). once that's done just rerun the 
setup script. you'll be all installed and working (but no surfarray 
support).

the surfarray module is one of pygame's optional modules. i built it 
this way because of the extra dependency. pygame will work fine without 
it, but any games that must use surfarray will obviously not :]

good luck, and i'll plan to make pygame-1.3 a little smarter in this area

(you're not the first to be bitten)
