note that these only work on OS-X 10.5 (which was the OP's question). However, the key issue is if you are building it just for yourself, or if you want to be able to re-distribute either your build or applications built from it via py2app, etc. If the latter, you want Charlie Moad's page: http://ipython.scipy.org/moin/MatplotlibOSXBuildNotes However, it really is a lot easier to just install the binary egg found here: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=80706&package_id=278194&release_id=603020 It's called: matplotlib-0.98.0-py2.5-macosx-10.3.egg the "10.3" means "10.3 or greater". you may need to re-name it: matplotlib-0.98.0-py2.5.egg then: $ easy_install matplotlib-0.98.0-py2.5.egg (I may not have the re-naming right, I'm not running 10.5 to test.) -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] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
