Hi Friedrich,
Thanks for your help. Just thought I would follow up to say that it appears to
be working now. I am not sure what was different this time and last - my libxml
file still points to the one with the architecture shown below, but I had come
across this post about changing the targeted architecture called for gcc
manually:
http://passingcuriosity.com/2009/installing-pil-on-mac-os-x-leopard/
So I had in mind to try this with the matplotlib installation, but for some
reason the make command did not fail in error this time... as before, I had
typed in my bash shell:
export PREFIX=~/devmake -f make.osx fetch deps mpl_install
and I am not sure why but those previous error messages never came up. So in
the end I just included the new matplotlib directory in my python path (in
.bash_profile):export PYTHONPATH:~/dev/lib/python2.6/site-packages:$PYTHONPATH
and it appears to be working ok.
So sorry for all the trouble, but thanks for your time!
All the best,Stephen

Hi Friedrich,Thanks again for your response. I've been away traveling (with no
internet connection) and just returned... hope you can help me troubleshoot
this last bit (hopefully last bit)!> This is important. I recently had a
similar issue (sort of). I think> the macports library is 32-bit only, and I
know that at least for> building Python the build performs 64-bit only by
default (this was my> issue) on a 64bit system. Of course, in case you want to
make a 64bit> build against a 32bit library the error would be sensible.> > To
check this, try to run:> $ file /opt/local/lib/libxml2.2.dylib> > When I run it

i386Is this the problem?Thanks so much!Stephen
