I think that 97.6 was compiled against 1.0rc2 but Charlie Moad is the
authority on this since he did the compile.  I have added this "news
flash" to the site

  The latest matplotlib for windows was compiled with numpy
  1.0rc2. Please do not upgrade matplotlib for windows if you are
  running the latest numpy 1.0rc3. Check back soon as we hope to get a
  binary build for the latest numpy ASAP. You can check your numpy
  version by doing

  >>> import numpy
  >>> print numpy.__version

  Note, the latest matplotlib compiles and runs fine against the
  latest numpy -- this only affects binary builds such as the windows
  installer.
