Where are you getting matplotlib 1.1 for Mac OSX 10.7 from to build it?

1.1.0 is the current release. I downloaded the unix tarball.

>From where? I didn't see it. I am talking about having a binary
installer on the Matplotlib downloads page,. the last one I see there
is this, which is for OSX-10.6:

matplotlib-1.1.0-py2.7-python.org-macosx10.6.dmg 2012-02-15

That is the one. 10.6 means "10.6 and later". It is build for
python.org's Mac binary installer for 10.6 and later, which works just
fine on Lion.
