Visibly, this is not an error with Fink's matplotlib, but with another 
version installed in /usr/local/scisoft.

Without more information from you, one can only guess why you are using 
this and not Fink's version. Supposing that your Fink matplotlib package 
is installed correctly, you are probably running the wrong python, not 
/sw/bin/python, but something in /usr/local. This could be a PATH 
problem, or that you run "python" instead of, for instance, "python2.6", 
but you haven't installed Fink's "python" package.
