I was able to get a build that imports without error, but on several plots I get the very bizarre error:

  File "/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/matplotlib-1.0.svn_r8035-py2.6-macosx-10.6-universal.egg/matplotlib/backends/backend_agg.py", line 221, in _get_agg_font
    font = FT2Font(str(fname))
RuntimeError: Could not open facefile /Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/matplotlib-1.0.svn_r7956-py2.6-macosx-10.6-universal.egg/matplotlib/mpl-data/fonts/ttf/Vera.ttf; Cannot_Open_Resource

Notice that the current matplotlib .egg package (r8035) looks for resources in a previous build (r7956)! I have eradicated all previous matplotlib builds and deleted the build folder from within the matplotlib source folder. I have no idea why this is happening.
