Hi All, An update:
I have likely figured out the problem. When I did a fresh install of Python-2.6 on my mac, I simply used ./configure and reading more about installing on the mac, I believe I should have used ./configure --enable-framework to support all the GUI stuff. Well, I tried this, but got the warning, Failed to find the necessary bits to build these modules: _bsddb gdbm linuxaudiodev ossaudiodev readline spwd sunaudiodev so, instead of trying to track down the solution to this problem (I am still new at learning how to properly install software from binaries) I just grabbed the latest python-2.6 .dmg file for mac, and installed with that. Now, everything seems to work fine. :) Cheers, Andre On Mar 11, 2010, at 4:56 PM, James Boyle wrote: > I have the same problem with nearly identical setup: > OS X 10.5.8 - intel > matplotlib 99.1.1 > python 2.6.1 > ipython 0.9.1 > numpy-1.3.0 > > --Jim > > > On Mar 11, 2010, at 1:31 PM, Andre Walker-Loud wrote: > >> Hi All, >> >> I am having a problem saving figures produced with matplotlib.
