installation problems

On an iMac running 10.6.3, python 2.6.4 I have installed numpy and then matplotlib using 'pip'.
The message in both cases was that the install was successful.

'import matplotlib' does not cause error messages.
'from pylab import randn, hist' gets a traceback with the message "ImportError: No module named ma"

How do I get matplotlib to work?

Thank you for any help.

Delete your old versions, and install up-to-date versions of numpy and matplotlib. I don't know anything about pip, but it found you an ancient version of mpl that is incompatible with your version of numpy.
