matplotlib install failing, can't find the right numpy

Question

I've installed numpy 1.6.1, and now I'm attempting to install matplotlib on OSX 10.6. I make the following call to install matplotlib:

    make -f make.osx PREFIX=/../deps fetch deps mpl_install_std

And it fails with the error

* numpy 1.4 or later is required; you have 1.2.1

I checked my numpy version and it returns 1.6.1

What gives?

Maybe it's picking up another version of python than you get from the command line. Try something like

make -f make.osx PREFIX=... PYTHON=`which python` ...

to ensure it uses the same python.
