The reason for this is that you recompiled numpy but not matplotlib. You can
either use numpy 1.6.0, which will work with the matplotlib you compiled
earlier. Or you have to recompile matplotlib against your current numpy (not
always easy on OS X). There are also up-to-date binary installers for
numpy/scipy/mpl you can use.
