I cleared out /usr/local and rebuilt the necessary libraries and it now seems to work fine. I uploaded a new copy of the Mac installer for Python 2.6 after performing basic testing on 10.4, 10.5 and 10.6. Please give it a try. I'll upload a version for 32-bit Python 2.7 once I have it. -- Russell ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn how Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) One Node allows customers to consolidate database storage, standardize their database environment, and, should the need arise, upgrade to a full multi-node Oracle RAC database without downtime or disruption http://p.sf.net/sfu/oracle-sfdevnl _______________________________________________ Matplotlib-devel mailing list Matplotlib-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/matplotlib-devel
