Two issues on OSX 10.8.4. I had been previously using the dmg installer. 
Lacking that, I tried easy-install and pip install, both of which gave 
me the following problems:

  - I needed to set CC=clang
  - When attempting to load matplotlib, I got the following error:

/Volumes/Data/Users/jaffe/Library/Python/2.7/lib/python/site-packages/matplotlib/font_manager.py 
in <module>()
      51 import matplotlib
      52 from matplotlib import afm
---> 53 from matplotlib import ft2font
      54 from matplotlib import rcParams, get_cachedir
      55 from matplotlib.cbook import is_string_like

ImportError: 
dlopen(/Volumes/Data/Users/jaffe/Library/Python/2.7/lib/python/site-packages/matplotlib/ft2font.so, 
2): Symbol not found: _FT_Attach_File

This is a freetype problem, probably an incompatible version somewhere. 
Ideas?
