[Matplotlib-users] macosx lion installation challenges

[Andrew <and...@ya...>]

Hi

Hi,

I am having troubles  getting matplotlib to install.  I have mac os X lion with Xcode 4.2.1 installed and  I have used git to get the latest version of matplotlib.  I am also running python 2.7.2 from the python.org site. The installation process was going fine based on the make.osx file supplied .  The only thing I had to do was add a symbolic link to map gcc-4.2 to gcc to get it to compile, the I hit the following problem:

gcc-4.2 -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -dynamic -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.6.sdk -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -g -O2 -DNDEBUG -g -O3 -DPY_ARRAY_UNIQUE_SYMBOL=MPL_ARRAY_API -DPYCXX_ISO_CPP_LIB=1 -I/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/numpy/core/include -I. -I/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/numpy/core/include/freetype2 -I./freetype2 -I/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/include/python2.7 -c src/ft2font.cpp -o build/temp.macosx-10.6-intel-2.7/src/ft2font.o

error: command 'gcc-4.2' failed with exit status 1

Any thoughts on how to fix it?

thanks, Andrew
