Matplotlib Universal Package

I posted a universal build of matplotlib 0.87.2 on sourceforge in
egg and mpkg format. It is compiled against the latest numarray,
numpy, and Numeric as well as Tk and the new wxPython-rc2 universal. Libpng and freetype2 are statically linked in. Please post or link to
either/both at "http://pythonmac.org/packages/py24-fat/".

Charlie,

I finally had some time to update my python matplotlib installation.

I installed
Universal Python 2.4.3-2006-04-07.dmg
numpy 0.9.8 from source
wxPython2.6-osx-unicode-2.6.3.2rc2-universal10.4-py.2.4.dmg
wxPython2.6-osx-ansi-2.6.3.2rc2-universal10.4.py2.4.dmg

Iipython 0.7.1.fix1 was already installed

I tried a test of matplotlib using ipython and get a segmentation fault.

ipython -pylab
loaded rc file /Users/smithsm/.matplotlib/matplotlibrc
matplotlib version 0.87.2
verbose.level helpful
interactive is False
platform is darwin
numerix numpy 0.9.8
Segmentation fault

I am guessing that you used a different version of numpy?

If I just do python from terminal and import matplotlob then no segmentation fault

>>> import matplotlib
loaded rc file /Users/smithsm/.matplotlib/matplotlibrc
matplotlib version 0.87.2
verbose.level helpful
interactive is False
platform is darwin

Anybody have any ideas what is happening?

Yeah, mpl 0.87.2 was built with numpy 0.9.6. I don't think a new
matplotlib release is in the near future unless the new numpy warrants
a minor bump.

So I could either regress numpy or build Matplotlib from source. Since I like being able to get
the latest bug fixes for Matplotlib and the last time I build it from svn it went without a hitch, I
decided to try to build Matplotlib from source. Unfortunately it didn't work this time. I get the error shown below.
I have a powerbook g4 with 10.4.6 and Universal Python 2.4.3-2006-04-07.dmg. What am I missing?

Well, I gave up. I regressed and installed numpy 0.9.6 from the package installer and looks like matplotlib works now.
It sure blows my confidence when two months go by and there are enough changes that I can't install from source anymore.
I would like to try again but it would be nice to know what you did to get it to work since what I did last time no longer works.

It looks like matplotlib should be building all of the _ns_*.c modules with
-DPY_ARRAY_TYPES_PREFIX=something_or_other .

Dear Sam,

Could you please try the following patch? I think it will fix the issue, but I'm not sure -- I don't have this problem on my linux system. If it works, I'll commit it to svn.

(Robert Kern suggested modifying the setup.py to include a compiler command-line directive. IMO this is better because it will be in the source file and is thus more visible to anyone who wants to re-use the code. Additionally, it will modify the file, triggering a re-build.)
