The latest beta of CDAT (Climate Data Analysis Tools, widely used in the atmospheric/oceanographic sciences) is distributed with the matplotlib source included.
On OSX, while it seems to compile without a hitch, plotting interactively (or calling show() ) with the TkAgg backend results in a seg fault. The non-interactive backends have so far worked just fine. The output from a simple interactive hello world line plot with --verbose-helpful set is: ================= Executing /opt/cdat/bin/python $HOME=/Users/acharles CONFIGDIR=/Users/acharles/.matplotlib matplotlib data path /opt/cdat/lib/python2.5/site-packages/matplotlib/mpl-data loaded rc file /opt/cdat/lib/python2.5/site-packages/matplotlib/mpl-data/matplotlibrc matplotlib version 0.98.3 verbose.level helpful interactive is False units is False platform is darwin Using fontManager instance from /Users/acharles/.matplotlib/fontManager.cache backend TkAgg version 8.5 Testing matplotlib Segmentation fault ================= CDAT builds almost everything from source. I've always found building matplotlib for OSX to be tricky, so tend to just install binary eggs these days. Nevertheless I have tried a couple of solutions: 1. setting export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/X11/lib/pkgconfig 2. editing setupext.py to put the system X11 libraries ahead of any fink/macports versions 3. setting CFLAGS="-Os -arch i386 -arch ppc" LDFLAGS="-Os -arch i386 -arch ppc" but to no avail. Is there a simple solution that can be applied to the script that builds matplotlib? ------------------------- Andrew Charles ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
