Oops, I just realized how misleading my earlier message was. I do NOT build the official matplotlib Mac packages. I have been building the packages at pythonmac.org. I started that because an earlier Python 2.4 matplotlib package crashed when using a user-installed Tcl/Tk* and just never got out of the habit. So I don't have anything to do with the official matplotlib Mac binaries and I have no idea what's in their ReadMe files. I *hope* they include the necessary info about what version of wxPython is required and all that, but I don't know. I can't help you with easy_install either. Sorry. -- Russell * The crash stems from a limitation of the Mac build of Python 2.4 that was fixed in 2.5. By default MacPython 2.4 does not find a 3rd party Tcl/Tk. There's a simple patch to fix this but it appears that binary packages that use Tkinter may not work with 3rd party Tcl/Tk unless the patch was applied by the person doing the build. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
