[Matplotlib-users] Trouble installing on OSX 10.7

[Elliot S. <sta...@gm...>]

Hello, I am also having trouble installing matplotlib on OSX 10.7 (Homebrew
python 2.7.2, clang v2.1) and when trying to compile it from source, I get
errors regarding libpng. (https://gist.github.com/2269043) These are the
same errors I get when trying to install via pip.

I saw that there used to be errors with libpng 1.5 (which is what I have as
I am running 10.7) but they were supposedly fixed, however this does not
seem to be the case.  Does anyone have any tips for me?

Also, I do not think that I can use a binary distribution, as they do not
detect my python 2.7, and will not install to the proper site-packages
directory.  I also do not wish to install an "all-in-one" python
distribution such as EPD as I have many other packages that I wish to use
alongside matplotlib that I have already installed in my current python
setup.
