I tried to follow the directions per
% python setup.py build
% python setup.py install
but within the build step I get the message
“library not found for -lpng”
It exits with an error code, and then install does not work either (no surprise).
I also tried easy_install. It says that I have numpy 1.0.1 but need numpy 1.1, which I have and which works. So I downloaded numpy 1.1 again and successfully installed it (again), but easy_install gives me the same message.
I have wxpython installed, and it works, but don’t know if that’s related to my problems.
I’m also a newbie to the mac, and am having trouble deciphering some of the posts with similar issues.
Thanks for whatever help you can provide.
Dan
Could you try the instructions at:
http://ipython.scipy.org/moin/Py4Science/InstallationOSX
and let us know how it goes?
Thanks,

note that these only work on OS-X 10.5 (which was the OP's question).
However, the key issue is if you are building it just for yourself, or if you want to be able to re-distribute either your build or applications built from it via py2app, etc.
If the latter, you want Charlie Moad's page:
http://ipython.scipy.org/moin/MatplotlibOSXBuildNotes
However, it really is a lot easier to just install the binary egg found here:
It's called:
matplotlib-0.98.0-py2.5-macosx-10.3.egg
the "10.3" means "10.3 or greater".
you may need to re-name it:
matplotlib-0.98.0-py2.5.egg
then:
$ easy_install matplotlib-0.98.0-py2.5.egg
(I may not have the re-naming right, I'm not running 10.5 to test.)

Minor note on that:
"""
I installed
wxPython2.8-osx-unicode-2.8.3.0-universal10.4-py2.5.dmg from the pythonmac site and am crossing my fingers that I don't find myself entangled in wx version hell.
"""
recent version of the wx back-end no longer rely on compiled code, so wx version hell is a think of the past (you will get better performance with wx 2.8+, though).
