I have compiled matplotlib with a 64 bit Python on Mac OS X (using setup.py) for the MacOSX backend. It's not as hard as it may seem. You will need 64-bit (or multiple-architecture) libraries for zlib, libpng, etc. You may have those already; you can check that by running "file" on the library. For example:
$ file /usr/local/lib/libpng.dylib /usr/local/lib/libpng.dylib: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures /usr/local/lib/libpng.dylib (for architecture i386): Mach-O dynamically linked shared library i386 /usr/local/lib/libpng.dylib (for architecture x86_64): Mach-O 64-bit dynamically linked shared library x86_64 If the library is 32-bit only, then you will have to compile your own zlib, libpng etc. If the library includes 64-bit, then you just need to compile matplotlib. --Michiel. --- On Tue, 2/22/11, Gideon Simpson <simp...@math.toronto.edu> wrote: > From: Gideon Simpson <simp...@math.toronto.edu> > Subject: [Matplotlib-users] mpl 1.0.1 + snow leopard + python 2.7 > To: matplotlib-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Date: Tuesday, February 22, 2011, 1:35 PM > Hi, I have OS X 10.6.6, Python 2.7.1 > installed from the binary at python.org, and I am trying to > get mpl 1.0.1 running.
