Are you sure you're using the easy_install for the MacPython you installed, rather than the one that installs into Apple's Python? Try: $ which easy_install I get: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin/easy_install > What's the recommended approach for installing on 10.5? It seems most folks are using the Apple-supplied Python2.5, rather than the MacPython one -- you might want to try that. > Processing matplotlib-0.91.2-py2.5-macosx-10.3-fat.egg > Copying matplotlib-0.91.2-py2.5-macosx-10.3-fat.egg to /Library/ > Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages hmmm -- that looks right. > Processing dependencies for matplotlib==0.91.2 > Searching for matplotlib==0.91.2 > Reading http://pypi.python.org/simple/matplotlib/ > Reading http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net > Reading http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php? > group_id=80706&package_id=82474 > Reading http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=80706 > Best match: matplotlib 0.91.2 > Downloading http://downloads.sourceforge.net/matplotlib/ > matplotlib-0.91.2.tar.gz?modtime=1199627250&big_mirror=0 > Processing matplotlib-0.91.2.tar.gz here's your problem -- it isn't recognizing the egg as one that will work on 10.5, so it's downloading the tarball to try to build a new one for you -- that's apparently failing. Someone did some trickery that is beyond me for the 0.91.1 egg, so that it was recognized as being acceptable on 10.4 and 10.5. You might search this list for discussion of that. eggs sure seem like a good idea, but this does get messy! By the way, on my system (10.4), the binary egg on sourceforge installed fine, but easy_install didn't fine it for me -- should it be able to do that? -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
