Hi folks, I've just installed MacPy 2.4.1, the latest numpy & scipy, and mpl-0.87.2 on a colleague's Panther PowerBook. numpy & scipy installed fine and passed all tests. For mpl, we installed zlib from source, and initially installed Freetype2 and libpng via the i-Installer. mpl built and installed fine, but gave a bus error when trying to plot ("import matplotlib" would work fine, but "import pylab" would give the error).
The .matplotlib/matplotlibrc file we're using does have TkAgg and numpy specified, and we've verified that Tkinter is working via a "Hello World" test script. Suspecting one of the libraries, we then installed Freetype2 and libpng from source. We deleted all the mpl stuff in site-packages and the mpl build directory, and built and installed mpl again from scratch. We still get a bus error from pylab. I am stumped as to what to try next. I've copied verbose output below; I hope someone can offer us some clues. Yes, I'm also asking about this on the mpl list.
