I did the following and now matplotlib 0.99.0 rc2 runs fine on my home
computer:
- I reverted my site-packages to its state before running the
matplotlib-0.99.0.rc2-py2.5-macosx10.5.mpkg installer
(I had saved a zip file just in case anything went wrong)
- I found I had numpy 1.2.1 installed, so I upgraded to 1.3.0
- I found I had some version of pytz and dateutil installed, so I
deleted them (in case there was a conflict with the versions
matplotlib wanted to use)
- I ran the matplotlib-0.99.0.rc2-py2.5-macosx10.5.mpkg again (from a
dmg that I'd created)
Now it all works!
I hope that numpy was too old, since I don't see how the other changes
could possibly be relevant.
By the way: the ReadMe in the matplotlib Mac binary installer is for
the source distro, and so not very relevant to the Mac installer. If
and when you have time I suggest writing one for the Mac. Relevant
info includes:
- which back ends are supported in this build
- minimum required versions for wxPython (if using wxAgg), numpy, Tcl/
Tk, GTK (if relevant), etc.
I will send you the file I used to use when I built a matplotlib
installer. bdist_mpkg has a --readme flag or you can just copy it
manually, overwriting whatever it put in there. Please feel free to do
as you like with the file; I have no proprietary feelings about it.
Thank you very, very much for making the installer and being willing
to work on the Tcl/Tk crash. It's great that you have figured out an
automated way to build it that works and supports Tcl/Tk. My process
was manual and rather a pain (copying object libraries into /usr/local/
lib, bdist_mpkg, removing the libraries again...).

Thank you very much. Unfortunately it doesn't work for me. Trying

My configuration:
- Intel Mac
- MacOS X 10.5.7
- Python 2.5.2 (in /Library/Frameworks... from python.org)
- Tcl/Tk 8.4.19 (in /Library/Frameworks... from ActiveState)
- this occurs with or without a ~/.matplotlib/matplotlibrc file
(that uses
TkAgg) and with or without a ~/.matplotlib directory at all
I have confirmed that Tkinter works fine.\
Can you create a small test script that creates an mpl figure and
saves it with savefig, and run it with
python myscript.py -dTkAgg
python myscript.py -dWXAgg
python myscript.py -dAgg
python myscript.py -dmacosx
and let me know if all segfault, and if not, which ones do?
