Hi, I would really like to use matplot lib, however I am having big problems as I try to do this on OSX 10.5. if there is someone how could give a detailed explination of how to get rid of the preinstalled python that is apparently rubbish and then how to install a new python version that would really help me. I am completely lost in a world of eggs etc.
Bryn P.S. here is my particular compilation problem. Is there a simple solution so that I can code my first graph today? salvatella02:Downloads rbf$ sudo easy_install matplotlib-0.98.3-py2.5-macosx-10.3.egg Password: Processing matplotlib-0.98.3-py2.5-macosx-10.3.egg removing '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/matplotlib-0.98.3-py2.5-macosx-10.3.egg' (and everything under it) creating /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/matplotlib-0.98.3-py2.5-macosx-10.3.egg Extracting matplotlib-0.98.3-py2.5-macosx-10.3.egg to /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages Adding matplotlib 0.98.3 to easy-install.pth file Installed /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/matplotlib-0.98.3-py2.5-macosx-10.3.egg Processing dependencies for matplotlib==0.98.3 Searching for matplotlib==0.98.3 Reading http://pypi.python.org/simple/matplotlib/ Reading http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net Reading https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=80706&package_id=278194 Reading https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=80706&package_id=82474 Reading http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=80706&package_id=82474 Reading http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=80706 Best match: matplotlib 0.98.3 Downloading http://downloads.sourceforge.net/matplotlib/matplotlib-0.98.3.tar.gz?modtime=1217773039&big_mirror=0 Processing matplotlib-0.98.3.tar.gz Running matplotlib-0.98.3/setup.py -q bdist_egg --dist-dir /tmp/easy_install-JGl_1Z/matplotlib-0.98.3/egg-dist-tmp-T6PVvy ============================================================================ BUILDING MATPLOTLIB matplotlib: 0.98.3 python: 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Feb 22 2008, 07:57:53) [GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5363)] platform: darwin REQUIRED DEPENDENCIES numpy: 1.1.1 freetype2: found, but unknown version (no pkg-config) OPTIONAL BACKEND DEPENDENCIES libpng: found, but unknown version (no pkg-config) Tkinter: Tkinter: 50704, Tk: 8.4, Tcl: 8.4 wxPython: no * wxPython not found Gtk+: no * Building for Gtk+ requires pygtk; you must be able * to "import gtk" in your build/install environment Qt: no Qt4: no Cairo: no OPTIONAL DATE/TIMEZONE DEPENDENCIES datetime: present, version unknown dateutil: matplotlib will provide pytz: matplotlib will provide OPTIONAL USETEX DEPENDENCIES dvipng: 1.9 ghostscript: 8.57 latex: 3.141592 EXPERIMENTAL CONFIG PACKAGE DEPENDENCIES configobj: matplotlib will provide enthought.traits: no [Edit setup.cfg to suppress the above messages] ============================================================================ warning: no files found matching 'NUMARRAY_ISSUES' warning: no files found matching 'MANIFEST' warning: no files found matching 'matplotlibrc' warning: no files found matching 'makeswig.py' warning: no files found matching 'examples/data/*' warning: no files found matching 'lib/mpl_toolkits' warning: no files found matching '*' under directory 'examples' warning: no files found matching '*' under directory 'swig' gcc: unrecognized option '-no-cpp-precomp' cc1plus: error: unrecognized command line option "-arch" cc1plus: error: unrecognized command line option "-arch" cc1plus: warning: unrecognized command line option "-Wno-long-double" error: Setup script exited with error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1 Exception exceptions.OSError: (2, 'No such file or directory', 'src/image.cpp') in <bound method CleanUpFile.__del__ of <setupext.CleanUpFile instance at 0x1bb48a0>> ignored Exception exceptions.OSError: (2, 'No such file or directory', 'src/path.cpp') in <bound method CleanUpFile.__del__ of <setupext.CleanUpFile instance at 0x1bb4080>> ignored Exception exceptions.OSError: (2, 'No such file or directory', 'src/backend_agg.cpp') in <bound method CleanUpFile.__del__ of <setupext.CleanUpFile instance at 0x1bb43c8>> ignored ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Matplotlib-users mailing list Matplotlib-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/matplotlib-users
