John - I followed your advice, and tried the build/install step again after downloading a completely fresh svn copy of the source:
svn co https://matplotlib.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/matplotlib/trunk/matplotlib matplotlib cd matplotlib sudo PREFIX=/Library/Frameworks/EPD64.framework/Versions/Current/ make -f make.osx fetch deps mpl_install It successfully compiled and installed matplotlib in my site-packages directory. However, I still see this in ipython: >>from matplotlib import ft2font --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ImportError Traceback (most recent call last) /Users/mhearne/<ipython console> in <module>() ImportError: dlopen(/Library/Frameworks/EPD64.framework/Versions/6.0.0/lib/python2.6/site-packages/matplotlib/ft2font.so, 2): Symbol not found: _FT_Attach_File Referenced from: /Library/Frameworks/EPD64.framework/Versions/6.0.0/lib/python2.6/site-packages/matplotlib/ft2font.so Expected in: flat namespace in /Library/Frameworks/EPD64.framework/Versions/6.0.0/lib/python2.6/site-packages/matplotlib/ft2font.so Am I missing some other step?
