[Matplotlib-users] building matplotlib 1.3 on OS X 10.8.4

[James B. <jsb...@gm...>]

I built MPL 1.3 from source, all seem to go OK but I ran into the problem of not finding libfreetype.6.dylib when importing.

On the web, I found references to this problem for builds on OS X. The solutions refer to a file README.osx, which is not
present in the 1.3 distribution. The documentation (http://matplotlib.org/1.3.0/users/installing.html) also refers to this file and appears to be out of date.

I have tried fiddling with the LD_LIBRARY paths, but have not come upon a solution.
