What do you mean by, "matplotlib installed from svn just fine."

The code I downloaded from the matplotlib svn repository successfully installed with

>>> sudo python setup.py install

However, I was building against a python 2.6 that I built from source. Where did you obtain the python you are using? I've run into these "missing required architecture" issues before and I'd like to narrow down the cause so we can avoid it or document the proper workarounds.

In the meantime, please try:

  export MACOSX_UNIVERSAL_BUILD=0

or

  setenv MACOSX_UNIVERSAL_BUILD 0

depending on your shell (bash or (t)csh), and then attempt to build matplotlib again.
