I don't get this error. What compiler does this happen for? Please send 
the error message you get and the changed file.

This is correct. The PyLith installer uses numpy 1.7.2. numpy 1.8.0 also 
works. We are in the process of removing the dependency on FIAT, so in 
the near future we will not need FIAT nor ScientificPython and this 
won't be an issue.

This is probably not related to DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH but finding Python or 
some Python package. If Python and all of its packages are coming from 
the user installed Python this shouldn't happen. It certainly doesn't 
for me on the Darwin buildbot or my Mac. That said, in order to get the 
Darwin binary to work for everyone on OS X Mavericks, we had to use 
DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES to make sure libstdc++ came from the PyLith 
install, not the system one.
