I suspect you are right. But I only build the pythonmac version, not the official version, so I don't know for sure. I build my version using: <http://www.astro.washington.edu/rowen/BuildingMatplotlibForMac.html>. I don't do anything special, but I do have a 3rd party Tcl/Tk installed before I build and that seems to make all the difference. >Just for my edification, why can't the egg version be linked >against/include a different Tcl/Tk? If you mean why can't it be built that way in the first place, I don't know. The guy who builds it apparently doesn't read this list, and I understand he's on some mailing list that I don't subscribe to. I suspect the official egg can somehow be patched, but I find it easier to just build my own and put that on pythonmac. -- Russell ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: The Future of Linux Business White Paper from Novell.
