Hi,
I'm having trouble installing matplotlib on mac os x. I downloaded the dmg
file
(matplotlib-1.1.1-py2.7-python.org-macosx10.6.dmg<http://sourceforge.net/projects/matplotlib/files/matplotlib/matplotlib-1.1.1/matplotlib-1.1.1-py2.7-python.org-macosx10.6.dmg/download>
) from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/matplotlib/files/matplotlib/matplotlib-1.1.1/.
I was able to install this package. Beforehand, I installed python
from
python.org (I read about the need to do this rather than use the shipped
python for mac os x). So, the original python is in /usr/bin/python and
the other, newer one, is in /usr/local/bin/python.
However, after running "ipython -pylab", I get an error message:
Python 2.7.1 (r271:86832, Aug 5 2011, 03:30:24)
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

[TerminalIPythonApp] GUI event loop or pylab initialization failed

--> 196 import matplotlib
197
198 if gui and gui != 'auto':
ImportError: No module named matplotlib
It seems that I don't have a module-- but I just installed it?
Side note: I've read to the best of my ability this page here,
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/faq/installing_faq.html#os-x-notes , but
there seems to be a disconnect on this page between the actual installation
procedure. For example, no where on this page does it mention about a
*.dmg file, yet the sourceforge site has the *.dmg file. And this help
site mentions *.zip files, but this time the sourceforge download page does
not have any *.zip files! What is going on here?
Thanks,
Tim
