I when Installing py27-matplotlib during an attempt to install py27-spyder on a completely fresh and clean port install, it consistently fails.

Can you attach the log that the error mentions.

Sorry, needed a few seconds to get the log ;) Thanks for the quick reply though!

problem seems to be the following: :info:build src/_macosx.m:1:25: error: Cocoa/Cocoa.h: No such file or directory

A Cocoa.h does exist on my system, it was part of the XCode install if that's of any help.

/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/Cocoa.framework/Versions/A/Headers/Cocoa.h

That path is part of the 10.5 SDK, hence not applicable as you are on 10.6. There should be a copy of this header in the Cocoa.Framework under /System/Frameworks. What version of Xcode do you have?

Thanks for the heads up, something was wrong with my install of Xcode. Removed and reinstalled it and it works, thanks a lot.
