It's not hard to build your own 64-bit matplotlib on 10.6 (and I assume the instructions are the same on 10.7, but perhaps not). The prerequisite libraries are already present. Just make sure you have the following installed: - XCode with gcc 4.2 as the default compiler (one way to change the default is using a pair of symlinks in /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin -- one for gcc, one for g++) - Python.org's 64-bit python installed and preferably running as the default. Download and unpack the matplotlib source. Edit setupext.py and change the entry for darwin to include those two directories: /usr/X11 and /usr/lib. Then copy setup.cfg.template to setup.cfg and edit setup.cfg to enable the backends you want. Be sure to disable TkAgg because it won't build properly. Then build in the usual way: python setup.py build python setup.py install I personally don't think the matplotlib project should serve such a product unless and until somebody has time to deal with the Tk linking issues, which apparently require editing some resulting libraries (more than I want to attempt). But that's just my opinion. -- Russell ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ RSA(R) Conference 2012 Save $700 by Nov 18 Register now http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsa-sfdev2dev1 _______________________________________________ Matplotlib-users mailing list Matplotlib-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/matplotlib-users
