Rajn,
If I could make a recommendation, perhaps you might find more success with
ubuntu 12.04 on a virtual machine on your windows machine. I have step by
step instructions here:

Then to get matplotlib working these steps should do the trick:
sudo apt-get build-dep python-numpy python-scipy
sudo apt-get install python-pip
sudo pip install -U numpy
sudo pip install -U scipy
sudo apt-get install python-matplotlib
In julia:
Pkg.add("PyPlot")
Pkg.update()
I've been using this setup for a while and have found it to work great.
