well, when I tried: easy_install matplotlib-0.98.5.1-py2.5-macosx.egg it again did the sillyness of installing it, then going and downloading the source. However, I took the "macosx" off the name, and it worked fine: easy_install matplotlib-0.98.5.1-py2.5.egg But then it's a bit hard for users to know that it's an OS-X egg! Maybe it could be put on the download site as: easy_install matplotlib-0.98.5.1-py2.5-macosx.egg.zip and unpack it to one with the shorter name. (even though *.egg files are already zipped! Perhaps we need to figure out what the heck is wrong with easy_install instead! (Not I want to dig into that code!) However, once installed, I tried to run it, and got libpng issues -- aaarrgg!: >>> import matplotlib >>> matplotlib.__version__ '0.98.5.1' >>> import pylab Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/matplotlib-0.98.5.1-py2.5.egg/pylab.py", line 1, in <module> from matplotlib.pylab import * File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/matplotlib-0.98.5.1-py2.5.egg/matplotlib/pylab.py", line 206, in <module> from matplotlib import mpl # pulls in most modules File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/matplotlib-0.98.5.1-py2.5.egg/matplotlib/mpl.py", line 3, in <module> from matplotlib import axes File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/matplotlib-0.98.5.1-py2.5.egg/matplotlib/axes.py", line 18, in <module> import matplotlib.image as mimage File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/matplotlib-0.98.5.1-py2.5.egg/matplotlib/image.py", line 19, in <module> from matplotlib import _png ImportError: dlopen(/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/matplotlib-0.98.5.1-py2.5.egg/matplotlib/_png.so, 2): Symbol not found: _png_destroy_read_struct Referenced from: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/matplotlib-0.98.5.1-py2.5.egg/matplotlib/_png.so Expected in: dynamic lookup I'm running python 2.5.2 universal framework build, on a PPC running OS-X 10.4 Here is the otool ouput on _png.so: otool -L _png.so _png.so: /usr/lib/libz.1.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.2.3) /usr/lib/libstdc++.6.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0, current version 7.4.0) /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 88.3.10) /usr/local/lib/libgcc_s.1.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.0.0) /usr/lib/libmx.A.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 47.1.0) so it's not linked to the dynamic libpng -- hmmm. -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 chris.bar...@noaa.gov ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SF.Net email is Sponsored by MIX09, March 18-20, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
