matplotlib install on mac osx 10.6.8

In article <loom.20120215T014809-393@...523...>,

Since my op, I also tried to download:

matplotlib-1.1.0.tar.gz

and I got a Decompression Failed message in the Downloads window.
I checked my Safari settings, and
Safari is set to automatically decompress 'safe' files.
guess it couldn't in the case of matplotlib.

Next, I tried decompressing and untaring myself:
...
So it seems to me like the tar.gz file at sourceforge is corrupted.

Very odd. I'm on MacOS X 10.6.8 and I am able to download it and
uncompress it just fine. I double click it and BOM helper handles it
just fine.

You might try reinstalling your operating system from a combo updater,
or try BetterZip (which I own so I can easily make .zip and .tgz files
with no Mac-specific content).
