numpy/arrayobject.h ist part of NumPy, not of ScientificPython. The  
directory where it should be is

	os.path.join(sys.prefix, "lib/python%s.%s/site-packages/numpy/core/ 
include" % sys.version_info [:2])

on Unix systems and

	os.path.join(sys.prefix, "Lib/site-packages/numpy/core/include")

for Windows. Note that NumPy itself will work fine without this file,  
but it is requires for compiling any NumPy-dependent extension modules.

Include/Scientific/arrayobject.h is just a very short file that  
includes arrayobject.h either from NumPy or from Numeric, according  
to the configuration.
