Installing py25-matplotlib fails

[Suresh Pillai]

Bizzarely it does work if you make a second attempt to install any of the 
various py25 libs that all fail with this same error.

However, you may be disappointed like me to to then get a segmentation 
fault for matplotlib when calling pylab.show()

Python from macports on leopard just seems to be nothing but trouble.  I 
ended up installing matplotlib manually from their site against the system 
installation of python and everything works painlessly.

Cheers,
Suresh
