Hi William, I have also spent some time to have a numpy/scipy/matplotlib set working under mac os X lion (10.7.3).... I use python 2.7.2, and work with ipython (0.12) in pylab mode. I finally did a mixture of several posts on forums and got it to work properly now.
Here is the recipe : 1 - Install homebrew (and remove macport and fink) and easy-install / pip 2 - Install python, gfortran and pkg-config using homebrew With homebrew, everything should be installed in /usr/local/Cellar 3 - Install ipython (0.12) and numpy (1.6.1) with homebrew 4 - Scipy install (version 0.11.0.dev-e857412 ) : pip install -e git+https://github.com/scipy/scipy#egg=scipy-dev It automatically installs scipy in /Users/nicolas/src and link it to /usr/local/Cellar/ 5 - Matplotlib install (dev as well 1.2.x): sudo make -f make.osx PREFIX=/Users/nicolas/src PYVERSION=2.7 fetch deps mpl_install_std It also instal in /Users/yourname/src/ It also 6 - add to your .bash_profile the following : export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH export PATH=/usr/local/share/python:$PATH export PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib/python:$PYTHONPATH The "not very nice and clean" art is that I have a /src folder (which contains numpy) and a /matplotilib folder in my /Users/nicolas.... I hope it helps.
