How did you install Python and Matplotlib - did you get a precompiled version, or install via Fink or MacPorts, or compile it yourself? Here's a wild guess: since /usr/X11R6 is just a symlink to /usr/X11, the file /usr/X11R6/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib has an "install name" of /usr/X11/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib, and perhaps the dynamic linker doesn't like the mismatch. Do the following commands fix the problem? cd /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/site-packages/matplotlib cp ft2font.so ft2font.so.bak install_name_tool -change /usr/X11R6/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib \ /usr/X11/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib ft2font.so If not, copy ft2font.so.bak back over the modified ft2font.so to prevent the attempted fix from breaking anything else. -- Jouni K.
