We gave up on the matplotlib installation. I did the following: a) Use macports to install gcc 4.2 b) Create /tmp/bin and link into it gcc-mp-4.2 and g++-mp-4.2. Set this as my $PATH (otherwise, the system gcc is still picked up sometimes, for some reason) Now, matplotlib should build, but I still see many errors of the form python(37779) malloc: *** error for object 0xa010c6d8: Non-aligned pointer being freed *** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug whenever I generate a plot. Seems to work OK though.
