In your debugging effort, first make sure that you are invoking the correct Python binary by looking at

$ which -a python

To see the details of the installation process, call Python with the "-v" flag (for "verbose").  I suggest redirecting to a plain text file so that you can grep for keywords.  E.g.,

$ sudo python -v setup.py install > foo.txt 2>&1
$ grep -i numpy foo.txt
