Let's start at the beginning - do you have Python installed and running on Ubuntu? If not, you won't have NumPy or SciPy, either.

Did you download NumPy and SciPy and unpack them to your hard drive? Do you see directories that contain setup.py somewhere?

Usually it's python setup.py install in a command shell to install modules like NumPy and SciPy. See if that works for you.

There are Numpy and SciPy packages already in the Ubuntu repositories (SciPy is in the universe repo, you will have to enable this). No need to compile anything. You didn't state your Ubuntu version, so the links show the versions for Ubuntu Lucid (10.04LTS).

ps: Sorry, only one link allowed. But you see the pattern. ;-)

If you are looking for a simple and convenient way to install numpy, scipy, and many other tools for scientific programming, you should give a look at Python(x,y).
