As it turns out, this was easy to solve. What drove me to this point is that the distributor of the software I use mentioned that numpy had to be installed before MPL. I had only installed MPL when I ran into a program that failed. I thought it might be because I hadn't installed numpy first, in fac I had not at all installed it at that moment. Now I was faced with the question of backing out MPL. However, the MPL install had given several warnings about some file missing. This reinforced the idea order was needed. As it turns out order doesn't matter here. I installed numpy and all is working fine. I have no idea though when order does matter.
