I'm sorry, I was a tad too quick typing there. I meant to say "And do  
I even need to [install Xcode] to run numpy?" Robert pointed out that  
a lot things mentioned in the install guide were necessary to run  
scipy, but that you could run numpy without them.

Therefore I was wondering if installing the newest Xcode package was  
likely to fix the error message I am now getting when trying to  
install numpy:

  File "numpy/core/setup.py", line 50, in generate_config_h
     raise "ERROR: Failed to test configuration"
ERROR: Failed to test configuration
