resending to the list too, fwiw. 2010/7/5 Stephen T. <obsessiv...@hotmail.com>: > Hi, I am having trouble installing matplotlib. I have OS X 10.5 with Python > 2.6 downloaded and installed from python.org. (10.5 came with Apple Python > 2.5). I've also installed NumPy and SciPy for Python 2.6.
Since you are 10.5, I think your default compiler is gcc-4.0 if I'm not very much mistaken. Can you please verify that by issuing gcc --version? I had a private conversation with the "owner" of the previous thread about OS X, and it seems that there are two ways to build matplotlib. I personally had no luck with the prebuilt version either, but I don't remember the issue, I think it wasn't compatible with my gcc-4.2 compiled freetype2 (I'm on 10.6). a) Use make.osx. This is quite easy, but you have no control over where the libraries are installed, and if you do not log it via 2>&1 | tee log.txt we will be unable to diagnose. make.osx installs libraries in your system, so be aware of this. b) Install the libraries on your own. This seems to be a little more complicated, but it isn't really. I used libpng 1.4 with a few modifications, just a few lines in src/_png.cpp. (You also may already have recent enough versions through your /opt/ path.) Sorry, I'm writing this again and again to all the users I tried to convice of this way, but I didn't find inclination to do it properly together with the developers on the website. Did you compile Python 2.6 yourself? If yes, have you made sure to use the --enable-framework switch for configure? > I've tried EasyInstall, svn, and dmg.

Below are some snippets of warnings/error messages: It would be helpful to have information about the initial diagnostic output of the setup.py call, but I don't know if easy_install works that way. The installation routine tells there what libraries are found and if you have pkg-config it tells also the version found. > from EasyInstall: > $ easy_install matplotlib > > matplotlib: 0.99.3 > warning: no files found matching 'MANIFEST' > warning: no files found matching 'lib/mpl_toolkits' > ld warning: in /opt/local/lib/libfreetype.dylib, file is not of required > architecture > ld warning: in /opt/local/lib/libz.dylib, file is not of required > architecture > ld warning: in /opt/local/lib/libfreetype.dylib, file is not of required > architecture > ld warning: in /opt/local/lib/libz.dylib, file is not of required > architecture > ld warning: in /opt/local/lib/libpng12.dylib, file is not of required > architecture > ld warning: in /opt/local/lib/libz.dylib, file is not of required > architecture > ld warning: in /opt/local/lib/libfreetype.dylib, file is not of required > architecture > ld warning: in /opt/local/lib/libz.dylib, file is not of required > architecture > ld: in /opt/local/lib/libxml2.2.dylib, file is not of required architecture > for architecture ppc I think /opt/ installs are macports or similar?
