[Matplotlib-users] Unknown projection '3d' even with svn version?

Hi,

I have just installed the svn version of matplotlib and basemap + numpy from the 
svn repository of
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/ocefpaf/openSUSE_11.3/x86_64/

When I do:
=======================================================
ipython -pylab
(matplotlib 1.0.0, backend GTKAgg version 2.17.0, openSuse 11.3 x86_64)

import numpy as np
from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import Axes3D
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111, projection='3d')
========================================================
I get a

ValueError: Unknown projection '3d'

I did the upgrade to the svn version because the previous one (which was already 
1.0) gave me the same message...

what's wrong here?
(looked at the web and couldn't find out a good solution, beyond the upgrade I did)

thanks in advance
Eric
