[Matplotlib-users] no gdk backend with macports and snow leopard FIXED

[John J. <jw...@gm...>]

OK, I just found the fix ­ within two minutes of my last email to you (after
spending 6 hours on it)!!
I needed to use the following variant for the macports installation (like I
said, I rather new at the Mac and unix):

sudo port install py26-matplotlib @1.0.1 +gtk2

for the matplotlib installation. it works now, although I still get this
message:
Xlib:  extension "RANDR" missing on display "/tmp/launch-KDlxaE/org.x:0".


thanks,
john
