matplotlib on OSX

Hi,

We're trying (for the first time) to install matplotlib on OSX (Tiger on PPC Mac).

Before we installed matplolib we ensured that BUILD_TKAGG = 1 in setup.py.
Then we typed 'python setup.py install' which went fine. Importing pylab goes fine,
making a plot with pylab.plot() also works fine, but pylab.show() gives:

alloc: invalid block: 0xa08bca0: a 1c 0
Abort trap

I guess this is a backend problem. Any pointers in which direction we can find
a solution for this?

We're using Python 2.4.1, Numpy 1.0, TclTkAquaBI-8.4.10.0 and we're trying
to install Matplotlib 0.87.7.

We recently posted OSX binaries. Can you try one of those?
