Thanks for trying that Willy.

I built a number of (optional(?)) dependencies:

 gtkmm-2.24.4-i486-1_SBo
 atkmm-2.22.7-i486-1_SBo
 mm-common-0.9.7-noarch-1_SBo
 pangomm-2.34.0-i486-1_SBo
 cairomm-1.10.0-i486-1_SBo
 glibmm-2.36.2-i486-1_SBo
 libsigc++-2.2.11-i486-1_SBo
 gsl-1.16-i486-1_SBo
 libwpg-0.2.2-i486-1_SBo

IIRC, some of the packages you listed would not build for me w/out at least some
of the above.

I missed a numpy update - have numpy-1.8.0-i486-1_SBo installed here.

I can try in a freshly installed VM when I get Virtualbox working with kernel
4.4,

Cheers ... Duncan.
