problem with matplotlib-0.98.5-py2.5-macosx-10.3.egg

I had the same problem with the matplotlib-0.98.5-py2.5-macosx-10.3.egg on OS X 10.5 and finally determined that it expected the latest png library. The one on the most recent release of the OS is a littler earlier. I compiled the library from the png website and redid the easy_install and everything worked fine.

As in my other mail I am having trouble building from source.
Previously I used the mac .egg to get around this, but the
matplotlib-0.98.5-py2.5-macosx-10.3.egg for 0.98.5 doesn't appear to
work.

I think the egg may be broken. Try grabbing the tarball and following
the instructions at

http://ipython.scipy.org/moin/Py4Science/InstallationOSX

Right - following these exactly worked (I had been missing out the
pkgconfig bit)

Thanks,
