OS X: upgrade to X11 1.1.3 breaks
mpl
Using an automatic update, I upgraded my Darwin X server to X11
1.1.3. Now my matplotlib installation is broken (see below).
Do I need to re-install everything? I am worried about
incompatibilities between numpy, matplotlib and scipy. I’ve been
reading about this in the email lists, and so I’ve wanted to keep my
versions stable.
Can anyone recommend binaries that work with my python version
and gcc?
Python 2.4.1 (#2, Mar 31 2005,
00:05:10)[GCC 3.3 20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 1666)] on
darwin
I am staying away from fink and MacPorts (Darwinports). I
installed these earlier either with binary packages or from
source.
I had a great system working! Thanks for your help.
On another note, my entire system is now broken. The computer
runs dog slow. I looked at the logs on the mac and noticed the
following (not sure it is relevant):
XFree86 Version 4.4.0 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6600)
[DRI] screen 0 installation complete
Screen 0 added: 1920x1200 @ (0,0)
Could not init font path element
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/, removing from list!
More info below.
