I built MPL 1.3 from source, all seem to go OK but I ran into the problem of
not finding libfreetype.6.dylib when importing.
Hmmm, it works for me. (I tried it again, just now). Here is what I did:
* Make sure you have XQuartz installed. I have 2.7.4 which I got from
Apple.
* Edit setupext.py. Change this line:
'darwin': ['/usr/local/', '/usr', '/usr/X11', '/opt/local'],
to:
'darwin': ['/usr', '/usr/X11'],
to avoid any conflicts with any extra software you might have installed.
* Copy setup.cfg.template to setup.cfg to change:
#backend = TkAgg
to:
backend = TkAgg
* python setup.py build
* python setup.py install
I found this resulted in a matplotlib I could use just fine on 10.8. (It
won't work on 10.6 because the X11 libraries are in the wrong place).
