Hi Rico, I have not experienced the wonders of the rebuilt RHEL yet before so can't give a comprehensive answer (installing centos 6.3 in virtualbox atm). But could you check if you have libpcre installed? strange thing is that swig (AFAIK from debian package dependencees) depends on libcpre so on a reasonable system it should get installed automagically when installing wing.
to help me out trying to replicate your case -- what was exactly the way you installed numpy and what version?
