Re: [Matplotlib-users] Import error on OS X: Reason: image not found
It appears that matplotlib is having trouble finding the freetype dynamic lib in your /usr/X11R6/lib folder when it references it. I'd check that folder to see if the dylib is there. If it isn't, reinstall the X11 dev tools. If it is, something is wrong with the dynamic lib opening, so I'd recommend removing matplotlib from your /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages folder and doing a fresh build/install.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Import error on OS X: Reason: image not found
The sensitive root folders (like /usr) are hidden from the Finder so that it's hard for someone that doesn't know about them to accidentally delete/move something sensitive that's supposed to stay put. You can get around this easily either with Terminal or Finder itself. If you're comfortable with Terminal: -Open Terminal -Type cd /usr/X11R6/lib (without quotes) and then push ENTER -Type ls libfreetype.6.dylib (without quotes) and push ENTER -Look at the output. It should spit back libfreetype.6.dylib at you. If it spits back nothing, the file is missing. If you're not comfortable with Terminal: -Open a Finder window -From the menubar, click Go - Go to Folder... -Type /usr/X11R6/lib (without quotes) and push ENTER -Look in the list of files yourself to see if the file libfreeype.6.dylib is there. Also, for future reference, when getting help on a mailing list, make sure to hit Reply-all instead of just Reply so that the conversation stays on the mailing list and doesn't turn into a private email correspondence between just you and one other person.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] Import error on OS X: Reason: image not found
Either way, the problem is that matplotlib is trying to access a file somewhere that doesn't exist (and needs to exist). Make sure you have X11 installed on the computer (simple spotlight search should turn up the app frontend), and then install the X11 package from Apple's Xcode developer tools (available on the install discs for the operating system or online from developer.apple.com in the downloads section of the members site with a free ADC account. If you end up downloading the tools, keep in mind that Xcode Developer Tools 2.5 are the latest working version for OS X 10.4, and 3.1.1 is the latest working version for 10.5 (since it's a large download). Once you're sure you have the X11 tools installed, remove matplotlib and do a clean install.

Note: If you don't have X11 installed at all (not just the dev tools, but not even X11 itself, which would mean you're running something pre_leopard I assume), you can install this as one of the optional components of your OS X install disc.

It should spit back libfreetype.6.dylib at you. If it spits back nothing, the file is missing. If you're not comfortable with Terminal: -Open a Finder window -From the menubar, click Go - Go to Folder... -Type /usr/X11R6/lib (without quotes) and push ENTER -Look in the list of files yourself to see if the file libfreeype.6.dylib is there. Also, for future reference, when getting help on a mailing list, make sure to hit Reply-all instead of just Reply so that the conversation stays on the mailing list and doesn't turn into a private email correspondence between just you and one other person.

I'd check that folder to see if the dylib is there. If it isn't, reinstall the X11 dev tools. If it is, something is wrong with the dynamic lib opening, so I'd recommend removing matplotlib from your /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/ site-packages folder and doing a fresh build/install.
