After some digging, I remembered that I'd built a pre-release of matplotlib 0.98.something so that I could use some of the new 0.98.x features. When I did the build, I used the SVN version with "python setupegg.py develop" to make following SVN changes easier. This sets up some symlinks and references in /site-packages back to the build directory. I removed fink's python2.6 and all *-py26 packages and matplotlib now installs cleanly and seems to work fine. Let this be a warning to those who try to run on the bleeding edge! Thanks for the quick feedback, and sorry about the trouble!
