Install problems, OSX 10.6.8, Python 3.3.1

Trying to install matplotlib-1.2.1 from source, i.e.,

[macpflm:~/matplotlib-1.2.1] pflm% python3 setup.py install

Everything seems to run ok, but I cannot import macplotlib:

[macpflm:~] pflm% python3
Python 3.3.1 (v3.3.1:d9893d13c628, Apr 6 2013, 11:07:11)

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

import matplotlib.pyplot

Python(16295) malloc: *** error for object 0x101c86820: pointer being freed
was not allocated
*** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug
Abort

I tried updating libpng and freetype using macports and re-building, it did
not solve the problem.

There are some warnings printed during the build, e.g.,

ld: warning: in /opt/local/lib/libfreetype.dylib, file was built for
unsupported file format which is not the architecture being linked (i386)
ld: warning: in /opt/local/lib/libz.dylib, file was built for unsupported
file format which is not the architecture being linked (i386)
ld: warning: in
/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.6.sdk/usr/local/lib/libstdc++.dylib, file was built
for unsupported file format which is not the architecture being linked
(i386)

..and..

/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.3/lib/python3.3/site-packages/numpy/core/include/numpy/npy_deprecated_api.h:11:2:
warning: #warning "Using deprecated NumPy API, disable it by #defining
NPY_NO_DEPRECATED_API NPY_1_7_API_VERSION"

(both warning several times).

Some details from the start of the screen output during the build.
basedirlist is: ['/usr/local/', '/usr', '/usr/X11', '/opt/local']

Also tried building from source with python2.7 - same problem:

I deleted the old build/source directory, re-extracted the source from the
tar file and tried...
[lap3:~/matplotlib-1.2.1] pflm% sudo python2.7 setup.py install

Build runs ok except for some warnings like ...

warning: #warning "Using deprecated NumPy API, disable it by #defining
NPY_NO_DEPRECATED_API NPY_1_7_API_VERSION"

Do any Mac experts have any ideas?

One thing that may help us is to fire this up in gdb and get a traceback.

1) Run "gdb python" (or "gdb python3").
2) At the gdb prompt, type "run"
3) At the Python prompt, type "import matplotlib.pyplot"
4) Python should crash, then type "bt" to get a backtrace
5) Post the *complete* backtrace to this list and maybe it will make the problem more obvious to us

I am able to import matplotlib.pyplt under python 3.3.2 from www.python.org in OS X 10.6.8. matplotlib 1.2.1, libfreetype and libpng were built from source using gcc 4.2.1 from Xcode 3.2.6.
Are you using python from macports or from www.python.org? You might try using python from the installer at www.python.org and building libfreetype and libpng from source. I did a simple

./configure
make
sudo make install

in the libfreetype and libpng source directories. You can download the latest source from
