I upgraded X11 as indicated and rebuilt/reinstalled matplotlib, but
the problem persists. Should I rebuild/install the graphical libraries
matplotlib depends on (e.g., freetype, gtk)?

I had guessed it was the known X11 1.1.2 font problem, too. Oh well...

Some more info might help, such as:
- What python are you using (where did it come from and what version is
it)?
- What back end are you trying to use?
- Did you create and configure a matplotlibrc file?
Admittedly errors in these errors usually result in a traceback instead
of a segfault, but it's a start.

Some more info might help, such as:

it)?

Python 2.4.3, installed via Fink.

- What back end are you trying to use?

GTKAgg.

- Did you create and configure a matplotlibrc file?

Yes.

Admittedly errors in these errors usually result in a traceback instead
of a segfault, but it's a start.

I managed to fix the problem by wiping my Fink tree and rebuilding the
various library dependencies of matplotlib.

            Thanks,
