Static linking problem on matplotlib eggs

I'm trying to build some matplotlib eggs to bundle
and distribute with some other python packages. So, I am doing
my best to statically link to libraries like libpng, libfreetype, etc.
that users may not have installed. I am building using the following:

python setupegg.py config -L../staticlibs build bdist_egg

where ../staticlibs contains the libraries that I am statically
linking. Unfortunately, users are still getting errors such as the following:

ImportError: dlopen(/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/
matplotlib-0.98pre-py2.5-macosx-10.5-i386.egg/matplotlib/_path.so, 2):
Library not loaded: /usr/local/lib/libpng12.0.dylib
Referenced from: /Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/
matplotlib-0.98pre-py2.5-macosx-10.5-i386.egg/matplotlib/_path.so
Reason: image not found

Anyone have a clue what I am not doing properly?

Thanks,
Chris

I just had to rebuild the OSX binary because a similar reason. I
forgot to change the basedir['darwin'] entry in setupext.py. Around
line 50.....

Change:
    'darwin' : ['/sw/lib/freetype2', '/sw/lib/freetype219', '/usr/local',
                '/usr', '/sw', '/usr/X11R6'],
To:
    'darwin' : ,

This will ensure you don't pick up shared libraries over the static
ones since they are preferred by gcc.

Thanks Charlie,

I've done this, but for some reason, its still looking for things in /usr/local:

In file included from src/ft2font.h:11,
                  from src/ft2font.cpp:2:
/usr/local/include/ft2build.h:56:38: error: freetype/config/ftheader.h: No such file or directory

OK, I managed to build with the setupext.py list empty as you specified. However, for some reason, the resulting matplotlib egg *still* looks for dynamic libraries in /usr/local:

ImportError: dlopen(/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/matplotlib-0.98pre-py2.5-macosx-10.5-i386.egg/matplotlib/_path.so, 2): Library not loaded: /usr/local/lib/libpng12.0.dylib
  Referenced from: /Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/matplotlib-0.98pre-py2.5-macosx-10.5-i386.egg/matplotlib/_path.so
  Reason: image not found

This is pretty bizarre.
