I had a working Fink installaiton of python/numpy/scipy/matplotlib until an update to scipy broke critical functions (fopen). The fix is in cvs, so this whole mess started in an attempt to use a cvs version of scipy. You could (should) have re-built scipy inside your fink distro. I would like to add that I used to keep a unix/X11 build of python on my Mac in parallel with a framework build so I could test a GUI app on X11 and Aqua. (I build the stuff myself instead of using fink; I never could get comfortable with fink). In any case, I eventually gave up. Installing packages that had a GUI interface took extra work -- for the X11 python I had to temporarily hide the Aqua GUI stuff. Eventually I gave up and ditched the X11 version. But if you *only* use fink then this comment is irrelevant--they've handled it for you. 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.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] matplotlib can't find pygtk during build
Hmm... After the long discussion I'm trying to decide what the best route is. If what I want is simply a stable scipy/matplotlib installation (OS X), what is the best (most stable and predictable) method? BTW- What is wrong with the ActiveState python installation? It was recommended on the scipy site. -stephen On 2/5/07, Christopher Barker [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Stephen: Russell E Owen wrote: It's up.

I'm very sorry to say that I don't know that there is a best. I, and others, have tried to keep the archive at pythonmac up to date, but building SciPy is still a pain in the %$$%^%, and there is no easy solution unless (until) Apple of someone puts out a Fortran compiler that makes Universal binaries. However, if you like (or don't mind) fink or darwinports, that may be the easiest way to go -- you should be able to use them to build stuff yourself if the package you want is not up to date. They don't support Universal binaries either, but that only matters if you want to re-distribute them. BTW- What is wrong with the ActiveState python installation? It was recommended on the scipy site. I have no idea. At one point, it didn't support Universal binaries -- that may not be true anymore, and may not matter for you anyway. There are WAY too many ways to install Python on OS-X. A while back, the MacPython community (that is, the folks on the pythonmac mailing list) decided that the Universal Framework Build, as found on pythonmac.org and python.org should be advocated as the way to do Python on OS-X, and the one that we would try as best we could to support with binary packages, and support on the mailing list. Fink and darwinports are other beasts altogether, and take care of themselves. I don't know what ActiveState's goal are with their build. At one point they had a package repository of some kind -- do they now? -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/ORR(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?

I'm pretty sure that MPL looks for it by trying to import it. does: import pygtk work with the version of Python you're using? I followed the python/numpy/scipy installation method here: http://projects.scipy.org/pipermail/numpy-discussion/2007-January/025368.html Those instructions are for the Universal Framework Python, that you can get from python.org and pythonmac.org/packages. That version does not play so well with Darwinports. I installed pygtk (2.10.3) with mac/darwinports on my mac os 10.4 ppcmachine. Are you using a darwinports python? that version of pygtk will probably only work with a darwinports python, and in that case, there may even be a darwinports matplotlib. In general, you need to use all darwinports python stuff or no darwinports python stuff. In theory, one could use PyGTK with he Framework build of python, using Apple's X11, but I've never seen a package for that. Why do you want to use pygtk on a Mac? why not TK or wx, or even try the cocoa back-end, though I have no idea what state that is in. -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer NOAA/ORR/HAZMAT (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception - Using Tomcat but need to do more?
