Several possible reasons: 1) You installed Python from source. In this case, since the mpl installer checks using the Apple package system (yes, there is actually a package system on Mac!), and installing from source of course does not register with this, the installer wouldn't be able to find the "Python" package. 2) There is a mistake in the matplotlib installer. This happened before already. 3) You're not running Python from the python.org installer, but rather Python from Apple. 4) I noticed that you're using the macosx10.4 installer, but you said you're on 10.6? Libraries on 10.6 are built with gcc-4.2, and the libs from the 10.4 bundle are built certainly with gcc-4.0. In this case it cannot load the gcc-4.2 built libraries. You can try to search the /matplotlib/ threads for this, we had several threads on this before. I remember no issue atm on this list about this not solved. But I may overestimate. You can also keep asking. Btw, where does your freetype2 come from? How did your build find it (i.e., do you have pkg-config or not)?
