Alex, Download the current mpl release and try installing that, after completely cleaning out the present installation. (I would also be inclined to delete the numpy and install that also from the latest tarball, and then build and install mpl.) 0.87.3 is pretty old. There was a while when mpl and numpy were evolving together and had to be kept in sync; evidently 0.87.3 was based on an older numpy version, something prior to numpy 1.0.
For anything that you install yourself, I recommend using the --prefix=/usr/local option to "python setup.py install". I like to keep things I install separate from things that come from distro packages.
