Hi,
Congratulations on the new release.
I just tried installing in a fresh installation of Python 2.7 from Python.org
Am I right in thinking the recommended method is:
pip install matplotlib
? I did this, and then:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
Traceback (most recent call last):

Python 2.7.5 just installed from python.org
X11 installed from the Apple installation disks for 10.6 before `pip
install matplotlib`
No homebrew etc
Any hints about how I should debug this further?
Thanks a lot for any help,
Matthew
I was able to install numpy 1.7.1 and matplotlib 1.30 under OS X 10.6.8 with X11 version XQuartz 2.3.6 (xorg-server 1.4.2-apple56) and python 2.7.5 64-bit from python.org using pip 1.4.
Have you tried running Software Update? If you installed X11 after updating to 10.6.8 you can run the combo updater ( Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 ) to get the latest X11. Alternately, you could try installing XQuartz from XQuartz

Have you tried running Software Update? If you installed X11 after updating to 10.6.8 you can run the combo updater ( Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 ) to get the latest X11. Alternately, you could try installing XQuartz from XQuartz
Yes, the system was up to date before I installed matplotlib. Just
to check my failing memory, I checked for updates (none), reinstalled
and got the same answer.
The combo updater looks like it's a fast track to the same outcome as
Software update - is it something different?
If Matplotlib is only expected to work for the Quartz installs - is it
worth trying to detect that and warn / error at install time?
Cheers,
Matthew

Logically, XQuartz should not be needed at all; mpl on the mac does not require X11. It looks like XQuartz is an accidental dependency, as a way to get access to a suitable libpng.
A link from the libpng web site led to this:

which might be a viable alternative.

I don't remember if Software Update detects updates to X11. What version of X11 are you running? The version on the Snow Leopard install disks, 2.3.4, is older than version 2.3.6 installed by the combo updater. As far as I know there is no standalone X11 2.3.6 updater for Snow Leopard. You'll have to re-install the security updates that came out after the combo updater was released if you use it, which is a bit of a pain. According to otool -L, the libpng12.0.dylib installed with X11 2.3.6 is version 45, compatibility version 45, so it should work with matplotlib.
If you don't want to run the combo updater because of possible side effects or install XQuartz you can download libpng from LIBPNG: PNG reference library - Browse Files at SourceForge.net, unpack it and do the standard ./configure, make, sudo make install to install it in /usr/local/lib. setup.py should find it there.

Sorry - I am afraid I installed the combo updater over the existing
X11 before I read your email properly, so I don't know what version I
had before.

You'll have to re-install the security updates that came out after the combo updater was released if you use it, which is a bit of a pain.

Yes, that does work thanks.

So, to summarize, pip install for matplotlib will fail on bare-bones
OSX 10.6 unless you do one of:
* Run the combo updater
* Install Quartz X11
* Build your own libpng in /usr/local
Is that a reasonable list?
Is there any way to check for this problem and warn / error at build
time with instructions?
Thanks a lot for the help,
Matthew
