Biopython build errors on Mageia

I'm trying to install Biopython 1.61. I'm logged in as root in a bash terminal. I'm using Mageia 2.0, and I've updated all the packages/programs on the OS (with urpmi update -a).

I extracted the source, then ran python setup.py build, which had two errors: 

FAIL: test_protein_16130152 (test_SeqIO_online.EntrezTests)
Bio.Entrez.efetch(protein, 16130152, ...)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test_SeqIO_online.py", line 77, in <lambda>
    method = lambda x : x.simple(d, f, e, l, c)
  File "test_SeqIO_online.py", line 65, in simple
    self.assertEqual(seguid(record.seq), checksum)
AssertionError: 'NT/aFiTXyD/7KixizZ9sq2FcniU' != 'fCjcjMFeGIrilHAn6h+yju267lg'

======================================================================
ERROR: test_doctests (test_Tutorial.TutorialTestCase)

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):

ValueError: 4 Tutorial doctests failed: test_from_line_05671, test_from_line_06030, test_from_line_06190, test_from_line_06479

Then I ran python setup.py install, but it failed, too. I updated my python with (urpmi install lib64python-devel) and my gcc, but it was already up to date.

This is the error I get from python setup.py install:

[root@localhost biopython-1.61]# python setup.py install

The unit test failures have been fixed in Biopython itself.

The compiler error suggests you are missing the NumPy header files, often included in the OS package manager in a separate package called something like numpy-dev or numpy-devel.
