Dear John and George,
I am happy to report that everything is now working!
The latest SVN patch fixed the fetch problem and a complete removal of
my custom compiled libpng and libfreetype2 followed by:
sudo make -f make.osx fetch deps mpl_build mpl_install
sudo python setup.py install
did the rest.
Thank you for all your help!
Kind regards,
Pim Schellart
P.S. I am looking forward to seeing 64 binaries for Python 2.6/2.7 and
numpy/scipy/matplotlib on OSX 10.6 at some point in the future

I still get the error (after svn up to revision 8336) but strangely
when I try to decompress manually I get:matplotlib $ gunzip zlib-1.2.3.tar.gz

I'm getting that too -- looks like the target has moved. When I cat
the file I seeOK, I think I have this fixed. I can now fetch valid files:
