Re: [matplotlib-devel] Getting TkAgg backend to work on OS X

[Andrew S. <str...@as...>]

Just as a bit more info to John's post, I believe that Tk requires the 
X11 headers, even if X11 is not to be used (as in the Aqua case).  So 
don't worry that it asks for it.  It's just a weird build dependency 
that shouldn't be there...

Also, John, WRT the link your gave, SourceForge says: "Message Not 
Found. This message does not (any longer) exist."

Cheers!
Andrew
