I tried installing the two Mac OS X packages I found here. The .dmg file seems to have installed somewhere other than my EPD python path - doesn't seem to be in the Apple supplied Framework location either, so I'm sort of stumped on that one. The egg I tried to install with EPD's easy_install, and got the result below.
On a positive note, I seem to have been able to successfully compile matplotlib on RHEL (my deployment platform), so if I can get Mac (my development platform) figured out, I'll be golden! >>sudo easy_install matplotlib-0.99.3rc1_r0-py2.6-macosx-10.6-universal.egg Processing matplotlib-0.99.3rc1_r0-py2.6-macosx-10.6-universal.egg creating /Library/Frameworks/EPD64.framework/Versions/6.0.0/lib/python2.6/site-packages/matplotlib-0.99.3rc1_r0-py2.6-macosx-10.6-universal.egg Extracting matplotlib-0.99.3rc1_r0-py2.6-macosx-10.6-universal.egg to /Library/Frameworks/EPD64.framework/Versions/6.0.0/lib/python2.6/site-packages Adding matplotlib 0.99.3rc1-r0 to easy-install.pth file Installed /Library/Frameworks/EPD64.framework/Versions/6.0.0/lib/python2.6/site-packages/matplotlib-0.99.3rc1_r0-py2.6-macosx-10.6-universal.egg Processing dependencies for matplotlib==0.99.3rc1-r0 Searching for matplotlib==0.99.3rc1-r0 Reading http://pypi.python.org/simple/matplotlib/ Reading http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net Reading http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=80706 Reading http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=80706&package_id=82474 Reading https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=80706&package_id=278194 Reading https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=80706&package_id=82474 Reading https://sourceforge.net/projects/matplotlib/files/matplotlib/matplotlib-0.99.1/ No local packages or download links found for matplotlib==0.99.3rc1-r0 error: Could not find suitable distribution for Requirement.parse('matplotlib==0.99.3rc1-r0') On Mar 14, 2010, at 4:22 AM, Jouni K.
