If you rename matplotlib-0.98.0-py2.5-macosx-10.3-fat.egg to
matplotlib-0.98.0-py2.5.egg,
easy_install will install it from the disk.

I'm not sure why this happens. I've noticed lots of Mac OS X eggs with
cruft at the end of the
filename, which prevents their installation through easy_install.
Renaming is all it takes
to install them; still, it's annoying.
