I know I had some matplotlib trouble in terms of compiling on OS X Leopard before I changed the Makefile inside
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/lib/python2.5/config/ If you're on an Intel Mac, try downloading the beta Apple GCC 4.2 from http://developer.apple.com and alter the Makefile so that CC and CXX are set to /usr/bin/gcc-4.2 and /usr/bin/g++-4.2 respectively. Also remove the flag "-arch ppc" from both the BASEFLAGS and LDFLAGS sections, and remove "-Wno-long-double" flag from the BASEFLAGS section. This assumes you're using the MacPython installation of Python and not the standard one provided by Apple. I personally wouldn't recommend using the standard Apple installation because a lot of modules assume you have the Python Framework in /Library/Frameworks/ due to that being the de facto standard set by MacPython and ActiveState Python. In addition, the MacPython instalation provides Python 2.5.2, not just 2.5.1. Matplotlib aside, you might want to make sure you installed the Unicode version of wxWidgets, and reinstall it if necessary.
