 matplotlib-1.0.0-python.org-py2.6-macosx10.4.mpkg
 I get an error message, that my volume does not contain System Python 2.6.
 I'm running a standard MacOS X 10.6.4 with python 2.6.1 running from /usr/bin
 And I do have Python 2.6 installed in
 /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6
 Why does the installer doesn't sees it?

Several possible reasons:
1) You installed Python from source.  In this case, since the mpl
installer checks using the Apple package system (yes, there is
actually a package system on Mac!), and installing from source of
course does not register with this, the installer wouldn't be able to
find the Python package.
2) There is a mistake in the matplotlib installer.  This happened
before already.
3) You're not running Python from the python.org installer, but rather
Python from Apple.
4) I noticed that you're using the macosx10.4 installer, but you said
you're on 10.6?  Libraries on 10.6 are built with gcc-4.2, and the
libs from the 10.4 bundle are built certainly with gcc-4.0.  In this
case it cannot load the gcc-4.2 built libraries.

You can try to search the /matplotlib/ threads for this, we had
several threads on this before.  I remember no issue atm on this list
about this not solved.  But I may overestimate.  You can also keep
asking.

Btw, where does your freetype2 come from?  How did your build find it
(i.e., do you have pkg-config or not)?

[Matplotlib-users] Installing matplotlib on MacOS X 10.6.4

2010-09-10 Thread Yannis Haralambous 
dear Matplotlib users,

I can't manage to install matplotlib correctly on MacOS X 10.6.4.

when I launch the DMG installer 
matplotlib-1.0.0-python.org-py2.6-macosx10.4.mpkg
I get an error message, that my volume does not contain System Python 2.6.
I'm running a standard MacOS X 10.6.4 with python 2.6.1 running from /usr/bin
And I do have Python 2.6 installed in
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6
Why does the installer doesn't sees it?

The reason I wanted to install matplotlib directly from DMG is that when I 
built it from source and then tried to use it, I got the error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File ./herbscmd.py, line 163, in module
sys.exit(main(sys.argv))
File ./herbscmd.py, line 156, in main
from matplotlib.pylab import show,draw

File /Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/matplotlib/mpl.py, line 2, in module
from matplotlib import axis
File /Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/matplotlib/axis.py, line 10, in 
module
import matplotlib.font_manager as font_manager
File /Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/matplotlib/font_manager.py, line 52, 
in module
from matplotlib import ft2font
ImportError: dlopen(/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/matplotlib/ft2font.so, 
2): Symbol not found: _FT_Attach_File
Referenced from: /Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/matplotlib/ft2font.so
Expected in: flat namespace
in /Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/matplotlib/ft2font.so

I noticed that many people had that same error (just google on _FT_Attach_File, 
you will see) but I couldn't find a solution anywhere. This is why I turned to 
DMG installation, but it doesn't seem to work either. Could anyone help?

Thanks in advance!
