Re: [Matplotlib-users] Bus error on Mac OS 10.3.9

[Robert H. <he...@ta...>]

You may double check to see that MPL is finding the correct versions  
of Freetype.  There is a version in Apple's X11 that does not work  
with MPL -- make sure you are not picking up this one by mistake.   
Otherwise, the build method you described has worked for me.  It  
seems like you are doing all the right things.
