It seems to me that something is wrong with that file, since release/osx/Makefile compiles its own Freetype and attempts to link to it statically, but the file ft2font.so distributed within the mpkg installer links dynamically to /usr/X11R6/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib. AFAIK, the static linking is done precisely to avoid version mismatches between different versions of freetype, zlib, and png on various versions of OS X. Several *.so files within the mpkg link to /usr/X11R6/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib and /usr/lib/libz.1.dylib (though, curiously, none link to the system libpng). I suppose this is exactly the kind of problem that results from dynamic linking to a wrong version of freetype: >> > ImportError: >> > dlopen(/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/matplotlib/ft2font.so, >> > 2): Library not loaded: /usr/X11R6/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib >> > Referenced from: >> > /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/matplotlib/ft2font.so >> > Reason: image not found -- Jouni K.
