dear Matplotlib users,
I can't manage to install matplotlib correctly on MacOS X 10.6.4.
when I launch the DMG installer matplotlib-1.0.0-python.org-py2.6-macosx10.4.mpkg
I get an error message, that my volume does not contain "System Python 2.6".
I'm running a standard MacOS X 10.6.4 with python 2.6.1 running from /usr/bin
And I do have Python 2.6 installed in
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6
Why does the installer doesn't sees it?
The reason I wanted to install matplotlib directly from DMG is that when I built it from source and then tried to use it, I got the error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./herbscmd.py", line 163, in <module>
sys.exit(main(sys.argv))
File "./herbscmd.py", line 156, in main

File "/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/matplotlib/font_manager.py", line 52, in <module>
from matplotlib import ft2font
ImportError: dlopen(/Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/matplotlib/ft2font.so, 2): Symbol not found: _FT_Attach_File
Referenced from: /Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/matplotlib/ft2font.so
Expected in: flat namespace
in /Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/matplotlib/ft2font.so
I noticed that many people had that same error (just google on _FT_Attach_File, you will see) but I couldn't find a solution anywhere. This is why I turned to DMG installation, but it doesn't seem to work either. Could anyone help?
Thanks in advance!
