Thanks in advance to anyone who can help. This is my first extended
attempt to make matplotlib work, and I'm relatively new to the whole
Python world. I have MacPython2.4 running now, which seems to work
fine. I installed everything for matplotlib, scipy, etc., from the
Mac OS 10.4 SciPy Superpack binaries, so I didn't expect to have much
trouble, but I get the following when I try to import pylab:
>>> from pylab import *
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/
python2.4/site-packages/pylab.py", line 1, in ?
from matplotlib.pylab import *

from font_manager import FontProperties
File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/
python2.4/site-packages/matplotlib/font_manager.py", line 39, in ?
from matplotlib import ft2font
ImportError: Failure linking new module: /Library/Frameworks/
Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/site-packages/matplotlib/
ft2font.so: Symbol not found: _FMDisposeFontFamilyIterator
Referenced from: /usr/local/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib
Expected in: flat namespace
I saw a couple of posts about problems caused by libfreetype in the
most recent Apple X11 update, so I tried reinstalling Freetype2 from
souce and ended up with libfreetype6.3.10 in my /usr/local/lib. I
tried moving this to my /usr/X11R6/lib and resetting the symbolic
links to point to this, but no luck.
Any advice?
Thanks,
Chris Pettit
