The thing is, I didn't change anything! The site.cfg I provided is
exactly the same as the one I have been using for months to build
numpy -- by the way, the latest numpy svn version builds perfectly
with it.

I am puzzled too. My only explanation is that something must have
changed on the nipy side that causes an unexpected interaction with
numpy.distutils. I think this is a bug because nipy should tolerate
any site.cfg file that gets numpy to build (very often, the site.cfg
used by nipy will be the one lying in site-packages/numpy/distutils).

Best,

Alexis
