> basedirlist is: [] Here is your issue. Please check the archives of the matplotlib-users list for the recent threads on compiling and Mac OS X (10.6 in particular). The thing is that the current distribution of matplotlib doesn't include the library pathes on Max OS X, but it can be fixed with a simple edit in setupext.py in the matplotlib/ directory. This is where you issue $python setup.py build. You can try macports or similar, when you're not experienced with building it's maybe more fast, but building freetype2 and libpng-1.4 is afaict quite straightforward. I have no experience with macports, but the include directory should be '/opt' instead of '/usr/local' in that case I believe. Sometimes people have problems with architectures missing in the macports libraries. There may be issues with compiler compatibility with the macports libraries too, since Python is compiling gcc-4.0. If they are compiled gcc-4.2, they will fail to load into matplotlib's ft2font Python extension. There is unfortunately no way to tell with what compiler a lib was built without having the logs available. You can in that case recompile Python with gcc-4.2, your numpy should still be loadable then, or you compile freetype2 and libpng-1.4 with gcc-4.0 manually. Please tell about your next steps on the list (push the "answer to all" button ... :-) I see you did not set MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET. Use $export MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.5 or 10.6 even. If you are not planning to deploy Python .apps or similar to other systems you can safely use 10.6 as the value. Not specifying any value defaults to 10.3 or sth like that, very early, and you get a lot of warnings. Ahh, another options to circumvent the edit of setupext.py, maybe a quite good option, may be to install pkg-config. This litte program helps finding libraries. But I have no experience with it. > REQUIRED DEPENDENCIES > numpy: 1.5.0 > freetype2: found, but unknown version (no pkg-config) > * WARNING: Could not find 'freetype2' headers in any > * of '.', './freetype2'.

The rest is just the compiler's way of bailing out ;-) Friedrich ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Beautiful is writing same markup.
