It should work on Mac OS X 10.4. A newer version of this binary is available here, which I recommend instead: <http://www.astro.washington.edu/users/rowen/python/> A few things to try: - Make sure you have Python 2.6 from python.org - Make sure you have a good numpy build, preferably of 1.5 or 1.5.1 - matplotlib 1.0.0 will crash if it has a problem with the font cache (though I don't think that is what caused your crash); to fix that delete the font cache in the ~/.matplotlib directory. That problem should be fixed in 1.0.1. -- Russell ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Matplotlib-users mailing list Matplotlib-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/matplotlib-users
