When I try installing matplotlib version 99.1.1 on my Mac OS 10.5 using the
DMG I receive the following error:
"You cannot install matplotlib 0.99.1.1-r7813 on this volume. matplotlib
requires System Python 2.5 to install."
But I am using System Python 2.5:
Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Feb 6 2009, 19:02:12)
[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5465)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
Why is it not recognizing Python?
Thanks!
PS. I also tried installing from source, but got the lipo error:
"src/ft2font.cpp:941: warning: control reaches end of non-void function
lipo: can't open input file:
/var/folders/eh/eh0fgkpOHKahCYCtazTUz++++TI/-Tmp-//ccYdEGvu.out (No such
file or directory)
error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1"

Because that is a very poorly written error message. What is expecting is the python.org build, which is installed in /Library/...., not the Apple supplied one, installed in /System/Library...., which is likely what you have.
I prefer to use python.org's build for various reasons. You might give it a try.
