Re: [Matplotlib-users] Building current SVN trunk on Mac OS X 10.5

[Uri L. <las...@mi...>]

I was wondering if anyone had any possible suggestions to fix the build
problem I am having below.  I built libpng as a universal library as
described below.  MPL then builds without any complaints, but gives me an
import error related to libpng.  I'm not a unix expert, and I'm not sure how
to proceed.

Thanks!
Uri
