Hi Matplotlib Users,
First of all, I hope this is the right place to ask my questions, otherwise,
apologies for the spam.
I am trying to install python on my mac (10.6.7) and I have some issues when
trying to import pylab.
I installed python 2.7.1 from the EDP package (32-bit), I have numpy 1.5.0 and
matplotlib 1.0.0.
I can import both numpy and matplotlib successfully (backend is MacOSX, I also
tried TkAgg).
But no matter how I try to import pylab ("import pylab", "from pylab import *",
"ipython -pylab", "from matplotlib import pylab") I always have the following
message:
> >>> import pylab
> Traceback (most recent call last):

Just to be sure, a "which python" returns:
> /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/7.0/bin/python
I also checked that I do have the "ft2font.so" file inside
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/7.0/lib/python2.7/site-packages/matplotlib/.
To me it seems that the library "libfreetype.6.dylib" cannot be found, but I
must confess I have no idea what this @rpath is. Of course, I already tried to
google this but couldn't find a proper solution. A "locate libfreetype.6.dylib"
returns the following:
> /Applications/TeX/TeXworks.app/Contents/Frameworks/libfreetype.6.dylib
> /Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib
> /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk/usr/X11/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib
> /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.6.sdk/usr/X11/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib
> /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/7.0/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib
> /usr/X11/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib
Using the otool -L to see the different links of the last two files here's what
I have:
> >otool -L

And then, I'm completely lost and I have no idea how to proceed. Anyone has an
idea how to solve this ?
Thanks a lot,
Johan
