[Matplotlib-users] Building matplotlib on Mac OS X 10.5.2

[Joshua L. <dis...@gm...>]

Hello all,

I'v been trying to get the same python module setup in 10.5 qorking
that I had going in 10.4, and so far I've been unable to install
matplotlib from svn on my own. I've managed to use an installer
(easy_install I think...) in the mean time, but I'd really like to be
able to keep more up-to-date. When I run python setup.py build, I get
the following output:

I'm using Apple's GCC 4.0.1 that gets installed by the Xcode Developer
tools, so I really am not sure exactly of what's going on here. I know
this has (obviously) been built for OS X 10.5 before, and I'm
wondering if anyone else has run into this and knows how to get around
it.

Thanks,
Josh
