I tried to follow the instructions given on
http://blog.hyperjeff.net/?p=160
and modified the make.osx accordingly to compile matplotlib on OS X 10.6.2 
(Snow Leopard).

But after executing 
sudo make -f make.osx fetch deps mpl_build mpl_install
I get the following error message:


I had compiled and installed tar from source, so it could be that my tar is 
missing a binding, but otherwise I could do "tar xfz <file.tar.gz>" on gzip 
files. zlib and bunzip2 are also installed on my system.

If I do a "cat make.osx | grep tar" to find the possible location of the error 
in the makefile, I only get:

        rm -rf zlib-${ZLIBVERSION}.tar.gz libpng-${PNGVERSION}.tar.bz2 \
        freetype-${FREETYPEVERSION}.tar.bz2 
bdist_mpkg-${BDISTMPKGVERSION}.tar.gz \
        ${PYTHON} -c 'import urllib; 
urllib.urlretrieve("http://www.zlib.net/zlib-${ZLIBVERSION}.tar.gz";, 
"zlib-${ZLIBVERSION}.tar.gz")'  &&\
        ${PYTHON} -c 'import urllib; 
urllib.urlretrieve("http://internap.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/libpng/libpng-${PNGVERSION}.tar.bz2";,
 "libpng-${PNGVERSION}.tar.bz2")' &&\
        ${PYTHON} -c 'import urllib; 
urllib.urlretrieve("http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/freetype/freetype-${FREETYPEVERSION}.tar.bz2";,
 "freetype-${FREETYPEVERSION}.tar.bz2")'
        tar xvfz zlib-${ZLIBVERSION}.tar.gz &&\
        tar xvfj libpng-${PNGVERSION}.tar.bz2
        tar xvfj freetype-${FREETYPEVERSION}.tar.bz2 &&\

which doesn't give me any hint, since all this formats should be support.

Did anyone encounter this problem?
