I just recompiled freetype-2.4.12 and checked the version of
/usr/local/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib with otool -l:
Load command 3
cmd LC_ID_DYLIB
cmdsize 64
name /usr/local/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib (offset 24)
time stamp 1 Wed Dec 31 16:00:01 1969
current version 11.0.0
compatibility version 11.0.0
And I checked matplotlib's ft2font.so with otool -L:
ft2font.so:
/usr/local/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib (compatibility version 11.0.0,
current version 11.0.0)
/usr/local/lib/libz.1.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current
version 1.2.5)
/usr/lib/libstdc++.6.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0, current version
7.9.0)
/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version
125.2.0)
/usr/local/lib/libgcc_s.1.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current
version 1.0.0)
And now that they match I get "Abort trap" on loading matplotlib.pyplot and
it looks as if ft2font.so has something to do with it:

It looks like the sage developers encountered this problem and this is how
they fixed it:
http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/7022
All it does is take the plane vanilla matplotlib-0.99.1.spkg spkg and add a
little script that simply rebuilds f2font.so again using *exactly* the same
command lines used by distutils to build that extension. That's it. For some
reason -- probably involving environment variables (?) -- this fixes the
problem. I consider this a temporary 1-sage release solution until the
matplotlib developers (or me) come up with a real fix.
How do I rebuild f2font.so?
