mpl is trying to use exactly this method: import numpy. See the check_for_numpy function() in setupext.py. All I can imagine is that either because of sudo, or because of the terminal you were in when you tried to build, your sys.path was not including the /usr/local path. Try: sudo python -c "import numpy; print numpy.__version__" sudo python -c "import sys; print '\n'.join(sys.path)" The latter must include /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages.
