Those instructions are outdated it seems. You should try and use
src/lib/enthought/setup.py which should work with numpy. See here for
more details:

MayaVi2 is a part of the Enthought Tool Suite (ETS) and uses several
of the tools in ETS. You need to have several of these ETS
components. Mayavi does not use chaco/kiva so you need not build
those. So, apart from enthought.traits and enthought.tvtk, there is
nothing you really need to build. That said, it is probably just
easier to build/install things using the method cited in the above
wiki page.
Enthought is working on a distribution tool called Enstaller that lets
you easily download, manage and install Python eggs. This is still
under heavy development and is not fully done yet. I hope that once
this happens installing mayavi2 should be a breeze.
cheers,
