Hi Dominik,

The problem is very simple: Our app only works with OSX 10.7 and 10.8, not 10.6, which is the version you have.

As you correctly guessed, this is an issue between matplotlib and X11. The Matplotlib version in the app requires libpng 1.5, and the last X11 version for 10.6 comes with libpng 1.2.

I'm sorry we don't have anymore support for 10.6 but I've monitored the download counts from previous versions and they were very low.

Cheers,
Carlos

Hi,
I only have standard apple python installed otherwise. I was under the impression that Spyder.app came with what it needed and it seems to think so based on the paths it was searching (in the error message). But I could be wrong. I"m still getting a handle on all the different python installations and tools. Could it be an X11 issue?

    Hi,

    Do you have the same issue in any other python shell, outside
    spyder? If so, than it seems this is an Matplotlib issue. Are you
    sure have all the matplotlib dependencies installed, including
    libpng? Some random stuff a search gave me:

    Not sure if that helped (I don't have a Mac)...anyway, I tried :-)

        Hi, I just installed Spyder having never used python before.
        I'm on OSX.6.8.   I opened Spyder and saw this error message
        in the console. matplotlib is one of the packages I came to
        python for so I want to figure this out. Can someone help sort
        this for me? Thanks
