problems on fink

Hello,

I am getting errors using matplotlib 0.80 from Fink on Mac OS X. This used to work (back in February) with a previous version of matplotlib (0.71).

In the example below, I have specified 'GTKAgg' as the backend because it was suggested that would solve a similar problem for a previous poster. However, the backend does not seem to matter. I first noticed this problem with the 'PS' backend.

Thanks for any help you can offer.
