This doesn't solve the original problem and I know I worked out a way to do it before my hard disk messed up! But it seems you can get a version going through macports...
sudo port install py26-matplotlib sudo port install python_select sudo python_select python26 then edit your .matplotlib/matplotlibrc file (make one if you don't have it). And put backend: macosx into it. Should work fine. Does for me. Now I don't know how one would set python up so it doesn't find my other version, other than moving paths around. Or setting it up so easy_install using the /opt/ version of python. Anyone? thanks Martin -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/building-on-MAC-snow-leopard-tp28947568p28951913.html Sent from the matplotlib - users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ThinkGeek and WIRED's GeekDad team up for the Ultimate GeekDad Father's Day Giveaway.
