Because several people are reporting problems with the OS X egg, I grabbed matplotlib-0.98.5-py2.5-macosx-10.3.egg from sourceforge and unzipped it to see what was in there. It seems to contain no of the extension code and no object files. What exactly is this thing? I am no egg expert, but I don't see how this thing *could* work ...
I think the src egg approach for os x is hopeless because too many people are having problems with architecture on png and zlib dependencies, and we don't have a lot of control over this because they are getting these dependencies from a variety of providers. I think we need a binary installer, eg using bdist_mpkg, with the freetype, png and zlib dependencies built in, as we have on windows. Any takers?
