Sorry for the confusion - I meant to say that *if* the other bug only occurs in some newer versions, you could try the patch. But if I understand your message correctly, it seems that you can't compile matplotlib on OS X at all, so the patch is not useful for you.
Have you tried the instructions in release/osx/README? It seems that on OS X it is easy to accidentally install a combination of libraries that will cause build problems with matplotlib: http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users/installing.html#build-osx Jouni Michael Hearne <mhea...@usgs.gov> writes: > Jouni - When you say that the FreeType issue is caused by changes in "newer" > versions of matplotlib, are those versions more recent than revision 7900, or > before? > > I assumed "more recent", and so I checked out revision 7901, edited make.osx > to point PREFIX to a local directory, renamed it to "Makefile", and ran > setup.py build and install.
