Do you mean:

http://www.pythonmac.org/packages/py24-fat/index.html

If so, I built the NumPy that is there, bu have not yet tried it with 
MPL. Who built the MPL package there? What version of numpy did you 
build it against? What else did you built it against?

It would be nice to keep a set of: numpy, Numeric, numarray, wxPython 
and MPL that all work together on that site. I haven't built MPL for a 
while, so I don't know what it takes, but the rest of them should be 
pretty straightforward.
