After attempting to install matplotlib-0.87.5 from source on an intel mac (OS X 10.4.7), I get an error when importing the pylab module. This appears to be the same error reported in:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=30574221&forum_id=33405 My attempt was with freetype-2.2.1 and Python 2.4.3. The error message is: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/site-packages/matplotlib/font_manager.py 37 import matplotlib 38 from matplotlib import afm ---> 39 from matplotlib import ft2font 40 from matplotlib import rcParams, get_data_path, get_home, get_configdir 41 ImportError: Failure linking new module: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/site-packages/matplotlib/ft2font.so: Symbol not found: _FMDisposeFontFamilyIterator Referenced from: /usr/local/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib Expected in: flat namespace I've done a bit of sleuthing but haven't found anything very helpful. If anyone has any insight as to what is causing the error, or even better how to fix it, I would appreciate it. Let me know if there is any other helpful information I can provide.
