Please try doing a clean build and install following the instructions at

  http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/faq/installing_faq.html#source-install

Basically do the following

  > sudo rm -rf build
  > sudo rm -rf /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/mpl_toolkits
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/matplotlib*
  > python setup.py build > build.out
  > sudo python setup.py install > install.out

and attach both build.out and install.out in your followup email.

Good luck!
