[Pythonmac-SIG] [Matplotlib-users] Re: matplotlib on Tiger?

[fghorow.11707581@bloglines.com]

Thanks to everybody for the informative replies!

I'm now trying to decide
my best course of action. The way I see the current situation, there is Charlie's
standalone installer from IU, but that does not integrate with the pythonmac.org
installation (which currently affects me greatly, because I'm running Tiger
and the pythonmac.org 2.4.1 "framework"). Then there is the pythonmac installer,
which puts stuff into the Apple installation of 2.3.... 

I've tried a few
obvious things (like soft-linking the pythonmac 2.3 matplotlib directory under
its site-packages to the 2.4.1 pythonmac.org's site-packages), but nothing
has worked yet.

IIRC, Charlie(?) said in an earlier post that he was going
to build against 2.4.1 and post the results (to the IU website?) once he got
home to a machine with 2.4.1 on it. It seems to me that this should solve
my problem, but I might be missing something, and hence need to compile from
source. Not a big deal at all for the python stuff (hooray for setup.py! ;-)
but I would then need to fight 'dependency hell' for all of the missing libraries
from my installations. I was kind of hoping to find that someone else had
already won that battle! ;-)

Should it come down to that, I'd be happy
to post any sucess stories from my ham-fisted attempts to build the .dmg anywhere
that it useful to the wider community.

To recap: for pythonmac.org 2.4.1
users there does not seem to exist a usable installer for matplotlib.
