Installing Matplotlib

Community matplotlib-users
1

Hey all,

I’ve been having a lot of trouble installing matplotlib. I’m using a macbook, on version 10.5.4 of Mac OS, intel processor (if that’s important). I’ve installed both numpy and scipy without problems, but when I type this command to install matplotlib:

CFLAGS="-Os -arch i386 -arch ppc" LDFLAGS="-Os -arch i386 -arch ppc" python setup.py build

I get this output:

are you sure you need to specify -arch i386 -arch ppc and not only -arch ppc ??
It seems that according to the log mentioning i386 here does not please the linker. Maybe try without it?

my 2 cents,
Johann

Compiling some packages as fat binaries is a bit tricky. For some reason the double arch flag is messing it up. Are you set up using gcc 3.x or 4.x?

If I recall correctly there has been some discussion of problems building matplotlib on the pythonmac-sig list, you might want to try looking in the archives over there.

For that matter, is there a reason you don't want to use the binary on sourceforge? The python 2.5 version that's posted for 0.98.1 is dual architecture.

Hi,

While others have mentioned the dual architecture problem, I'm going to completely divert your question and just point you to these two install notes for os x ... I think the last time I compiled matplotlib from source, I followed this .. it worked quite flawlessly on my MBP:
http://ipython.scipy.org/moin/Py4Science/InstallationOSX

Hopefully that will get you up and running, but if creating a universal binary is important to you, you can try looking here:
http://ipython.scipy.org/moin/MatplotlibOSXBuildNotes

HTH,
