I recently installed MPL on two Macs, one running 10.6 and another
running 10.5. When I try to plot, I get the following error:

TclError: couldn't open

"/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/
site-packages/matplotlib/mpl-data/images/home.ppm":

permission denied

After checking, it's true that only the owner has read permissions.
This is easy enough on my end, but I wonder if there is a problem with
the distributed installer that should have the correct permissions for
these images.

Has anyone else seen this problem or is it just me?

I'm having the exact same problem. I recently installed python 2.6 on 2
different macs, one using OS X 10.5 and one using 10.6. One is a powerPC and
one's intel, but I get the same error.

Ok, so it seems to be the installer, who's doing the Mac installers usually?
