I thought I'd chime in since I recently upgraded to OSX 10.6. I don't think I ever got this error, so I probably didn't have the same issue, but just in case... I reinstalled freetype2, but I'm not sure if I needed to. I also made a change to setupext.py so that the setup script could find freetype2, but this doesn't seem to be your problem because your errors don't occur during the build. Did you happen to build on top of an old install? I had to clean out the old compiled extensions before everything would build properly. I had to clean out the build directory (obviously), but there are also *.so files in lib/matplotlib and lib/matplotlib/backends. I should note that I'm built on top of the system python (2.6.1) and I did not use make.osx. -Tony ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
