I wonder why, I don't what the advantages of it are over the pythonmac version -- last I heard it did NOT support Universal binaries, but maybe that makes things a bit easier, particularly for scipy, and there is no easy way to build universal binaries from Fortran. > Here's the real saga.

You could (should) have re-built scipy inside your fink distro. > I tried wxpython2.6 first, but figure windows never got drawn on my > display, even when I used pythonw. wxPython 2.6.3, as distributed on the wxPython site and pythonmac, should work with MPL. I've lost track of whether there is a properly built binary of MPL on pythonmac at this point. Search these archives, and you'll see discussion of how to do it, or send a note to me if this one fails: http://pythonmac.org/packages/py24-fat/index.html Russell, if you're listening -- did you ever post your binary for Python2.4, wxPython2.6.3 ? > So I tried pygtk because it worked > fine for me under fink and on my linux box.

Where do I begin? with the package above, the notes that should be on this list, and if you're lucky with Russell Owens' binary. If all that fails, drop me a note, either Russell or I should be able to get you going. Note that there are some yet-unresolved issues with the wx back-end with wxPython2.8, at least on OS-X, so I'd stick with 2.6.3. OH, and I've lost track, are you using Python 2.4 or 2.5? It should all work with 2.5, but I (and I think Russell) are using wxPython2.8 with Python 2.5 and wxPython2.6 with Python 2.4. > 3) Cocoa backend? I didn't know there was one.

If you had Fink all working, it might be easiest to start there -- you just need to re-build scipy with all the fink tools -- that should be much like building it on Linux. -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
