Hi,
I'm having trouble with my built-from-source installation of matplotlib on Snow
Leopard (I also tried installing from the .dmg file, but that install failed
-- see below for details).
I downloaded:
matplotlib-1.0.0.tar.gz
and then built and installed:
> tar xvzf matplotlib-1.0.0.tar.gz
> cd matplotlib-1.0.0
> python setup.py build
> python setup.py install
Then tried using pylab:
> cd
> python
Python 2.6.1 (r261:67515, Feb 11 2010, 00:51:29)
[GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5646)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import pylab

I've seen both of these problems listed elsewhere, but no solution posted:

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Here's information on my environment:
Mac OS X 10.6.4
> uname -a
Darwin My-MacBook-Pro.local 10.4.0 Darwin Kernel Version 10.4.0: Fri Apr 23
18:28:53 PDT 2010; root:xnu-1504.7.4~1/RELEASE_I386 i386
I was building from source because I was not able to install from the DMG
installer (matplotlib-1.0.0-python.org-py2.6-macosx10.4.dmg). When I tried the
.dmg installer, I got the following message:
matplotlib 1.0.0-r0 can't be installed on this disk.
matplotlib requires System Python 2.6 to install
Thanks for your help,
James
