Oh, that is ancient!

It is critical to have NumPy installed before PyNIfTI, since it depends
on it being available. However, getting numpy to run on RH EL4 might be
a tricky task. -- which I have never done before and probably never will
(given the age of that release).

Seriously, I'd consider upgrading the system to something more recent
before wasting time to figure out how to get NumPy running on it. There
are binary packages for numpy and pynifti for RH EL5 (or CentOS5, ...)
that you can simply install and use.

If you want to, or have to stick to EL4 you probably have to seek for
help on the NumPy user list -- although I'm not confident that many
people are still using that system.


Sorry,

Michael
