This is almost certainly a typo.  I guess you mean 'sys.platform'

    Alexander> How do I fix this? I installed numarray and I changed the NUMERIX value in the matplotlibrc file from Numeric to numarray but I still have the same problem.

This has nothing to do with the numerix setting.  Check out
setupext.py and add an entry to the basedir dictionary to reflect your
local path information.  If you get something that works, please post
it so we can include it in the standard distro.

Is there a reason you don't want to use the pre-built win32 binaries?
Most windows users are reasonably happy with that.
