The yum version will be installed into something like
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/ and the version you install yourself will
be put (by default) into /usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/ (you can
control this with the --prefix option to "python setup.py install"). If the
/use/local version is in your PYTHONPATH before the /usr/lib version, you
will get the newer version. You can check this by doing
>>> import matplotlib
>>> print matplotlib.__version__
>>> print matplotlib.__file__
