[Matplotlib-users] Install problems, OSX 10.6.8, Python 3.3.1

[p.maxted <p.m...@ke...>]

Trying to install matplotlib-1.2.1 from source, i.e.,

[macpflm:~/matplotlib-1.2.1] pflm% python3 setup.py install

Everything seems to run ok, but I cannot import macplotlib:

[macpflm:~] pflm% python3
Python 3.3.1 (v3.3.1:d9893d13c628, Apr  6 2013, 11:07:11) 
[GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5666) (dot 3)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import matplotlib.pyplot
Python(16295) malloc: *** error for object 0x101c86820: pointer being freed
was not allocated
*** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug
Abort


 I tried updating libpng and freetype using macports and re-building, it did
not solve the problem.

There are some warnings printed during the build, e.g., 

ld: warning: in /opt/local/lib/libfreetype.dylib, file was built for
unsupported file format which is not the architecture being linked (i386)
ld: warning: in /opt/local/lib/libz.dylib, file was built for unsupported
file format which is not the architecture being linked (i386)
ld: warning: in
/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.6.sdk/usr/local/lib/libstdc++.dylib, file was built
for unsupported file format which is not the architecture being linked
(i386)

..and..

/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.3/lib/python3.3/site-packages/numpy/core/include/numpy/npy_deprecated_api.h:11:2:
warning: #warning "Using deprecated NumPy API, disable it by #defining
NPY_NO_DEPRECATED_API NPY_1_7_API_VERSION"

(both warning several times).

Some details from the start of the screen output during the build.
basedirlist is: ['/usr/local/', '/usr', '/usr/X11', '/opt/local']
