Help building (problems with pkg-config and libpng)

Community matplotlib-users

I have a working system now. Here’s what I did to fix it.

  1. Installed libpng from source
  2. Installed freetype2 from source
  3. Installed pkg-config from source
  4. Installed a new version of the Xcode developer tools for the mac.

During the build I still saw a few ‘incompatible architecture’ errors flash by, but I guess they weren’t serious enough for the build to stop.

What does

pkg-config libpng --modversion --libs --cflags

give?

The pkg-config error may actually be a red herring, since matplotlib will look in /usr/local even if pkg-config fails, and it obviously found the headers or it wouldn’t have gotten to the linking stage. As the author of the pkg-config support I would like to rule that out as the problem though.

I think it’s more likely that the libpng isn’t being built correctly to match the kind of binary matplotlib is building. I’m afraid that’s where I hit the end of my knowledge as a non-Mac user, but I’m sure another Mac developer will chime in.

Okay, I just installed pkg-config, and it now finds the proper libpng…

            libpng: 1.2.37

However, I still get exactly the same compile problem:
