I've been looking into this. This is what should be a relatively simple job. There are some changes between Numeric and the new numpy though which means I've implemented both in tandem.
If HAVE_NUMPY = ON then plplot will first check for the new numpy. If this is not present it will fall back and use Numeric. Currently the defauly is HAVE_NUMPY = OFF. The reason I have not depreciated Numeric (yet) is that many people may still be using it. I'm also not sure whether all distribution yet contain numpy. At some stage I suggest we switch the default to numpy rather Numeric. All this works fine on my 32 bit Ubuntu Feisty system. It does not work on my 64 bit Ubuntu Edgy system. There are 64 bit issues with integers that mean examples 2, 18 and 24 don't work. Examples 2 and 24 use plscmap0 which passes arrays of integers to define colours. Example 18 uses plpoly3 which passes an array to mark which polygon segments to draw. I will try to get to the bottom of this once I figure out the precise cause.
