You do not want to do this last step. The mpl_install in the make command will handle the install. This last step may be building against different libs, which is probably why you are seeing the ft2font import link problem. Note that the install will be put into $PREFIX/lib/python.6/site-packages so the PREFIX should be your installation target, not your build target. Ie, it looks like you are not setting the PREFIX according to the intent. I suggest something like > sudo PREFIX=/Library/Frameworks/EPD64.framework/Versions/Current/ make -f deps mpl_install for your current file hierarchy. Alternatively, you can do > PREFIX=/Users/mhearne/build make -f make binaries and then use the binary installers that are built to do the site wide install.
