Installation Problems on Mac OS X

I haven't tried the binaries because there isn't one for python 2.5 and Mac OS 10.4 (the particular combination that I have). I could use the binaries if I went back to python 2.4, but I'm trying avoid that if possible.

So actually there is a build for you... actually two. I built
"matplotlib-0.87.6-py2.5-macosx-10.3-fat.egg" with python2.5 on OS
10.4. For some strange reason setuptools or distutils tags it with
10.3. It might be because the build targets to 10.3.9 SDK, so it
should be compatible with 10.3.9 and up.
"matplotlib-0.87.6-py2.5-macosx10.4.zip" is the exact same build but
bundled with bdist_mpkg. It is understanding how this is confusing.
I am cc'ing the pythonmac-sig list to see if someone can better
explain the thought process behind this.
