[Matplotlib-users] Newbie trying to get matplotlib up and running on Mac mini.....

[Jonathan K. <sei...@ya...>]

Hi,
   I have a Mac mini with Intel Duo processors.  I downloaded and installed python, numpy, and scipy on my machine.  I downloaded already built binaries from the website http://www.scipy.org/Download

The file I downloaded was ScipySuperpack-Intel-10.4-py2.4
matplotlib was a part of that package.

This is what I get when I launch python, numpy, scipy, and matplotlib. 

adsl-69-154-179-12:~ seismic73$ python
ActivePython 2.4.3 Build 11 (ActiveState Software Inc.) based on
Python 2.4.3 (#1, Apr  3 2006, 18:07:14)

    from matplotlib.pylab import *
ImportError: No module named matplotlib.pylab


Any thoughts as to what I've done wrong?  Do I have to build matplotlib myself?  I am intimidated about doing that.....

Please help!  

Thanks!
