Your build of matplotlib is probably picking up a different freetype library than the one you intended, one which somebody else built. Possibly the one in /usr/X11R6/lib/. You can use otool(1) to figure out what shared libraries your extension modules are linking against: [matplotlib]$ otool -L ft2font.so ft2font.so: /opt/local/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib (compatibility version 10.0.0, current version 10.8.0) /opt/local/lib/libz.1.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.2.3) /usr/lib/libstdc++.6.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0, current version 7.4.0) /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 88.3.3) /usr/local/lib/libgcc_s.1.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.0.0) -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
