I needed to use some function from scipy. It appeared that the
easiest way to install it was to use the scipy superpack
http://idisk.mac.com/fonnesbeck-Public/ScipySuperpack-PPC-10.4-py2.5.zip
After installing ipython --pylab exits with error on startup see below:
It appears to be a freetype problem. I have the macports freetype in
/opt/local/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib
I added a symbolic link in /usr/local/lib to the /opt/local/lib and
that fixed the problem
sudo ln -s /opt/local/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib /usr/local/lib/
libfreetype.6.dylib
Since I did not have this problem with the matplotlib on
http://pythonmac.org/packages/py25-fat/dmg/matplotlib-0.90.0-py2.5-
macosx10.4-2007-02-20.dmg
I wonder why this occurred with scypy super pack? I assume there is a
difference in how the two were built
where one could find the free typelib and the other couldn't
ipython --pylab
