Stephen,
On the dev list was an ANN post which stated that 0.87.7:
This release is compiled against numpy-1.0 final. The binaries are
fresh on sourceforge, so they may take some time to propagate to the
mirrors.

Sorry if this has been answered already, but I'm having trouble
finding the answer--
What version of matplotlib is compatible with numpy 1.0 (final)? Or,
should I continue to use numpy-1.0rc2 w/ mpl 0.87.7? I'm building from
source on mac os using fink, and have had no trouble until numpy
1.0rc3 c
