I don't have access to a Leopard Machine to try and reproduce but it seems to be a compiler bug:

Can you try using gcc-4.2:

sudo port install py27-matplotlib configure.compiler=apple-gcc-4.2

[juanaus@…]

Thanks for all your help, I try your suggestion but unfortunately it cannot build matplotlib. Here is what I get:

The error implies that you do not have the apple gcc 4.2 port installed. What is the output of the following?

port installed apple-gcc42

Hi, yes I did notice that after I sent my comment. So, I tried installing apple-gcc42 and just gcc42 with the following outcome:

gcc42 main.log

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

That's a totally different error for a totally different port. Please file a new ticket for that.

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

You shouldn't need to install apple-gcc42, since Apple's gcc-4.2 is included with Xcode 3.1. You definitely don't want gcc42 since that is the "vanilla" FSF version without any of Apple's patches.

So ram's suggested command in comment:2 wasn't quite right; it should have been:

sudo port install py27-matplotlib configure.compiler=gcc-4.2

Thank you! I think that made the trick. Now matplotlib is working again, it shows some leaking warnings while plotting but in general is working. Thank you again for all your help.

[skymoo (Adam Mercer)]

Great! Just to clarify, is it Xcode-3.1 you have or Xcode-3.1.4?

Xcode Version 3.1.3

[skymoo (Adam Mercer)]

Any chance you could upgrade to 3.1.4 and try the build again?

[petrrr]

I observed the same build problem on my Mac OS X 10.5.8, while updating to 1.2.0. I am using python26 (py26-matplotlib).

XCode 3.1.4

proposal: change py27-matplotlib to py-matplotlib

[skymoo (Adam Mercer)]

Replying to Peter.Danecek@…:

proposal: change py27-matplotlib to py-matplotlib

I don't understand this statement. matplotlib-1.2.0 dropped support for python24 and python26 and as such python27 was made the default version, therefore py-matplotlib and py27-matplotlib are the same?

XCode 3.1.4

With gcc-4.2 it builds fine

Does it still fail with Xcode-3.1.4 when using gcc-4.0?

Yes, it fails with gcc-4.0 (logfile: py-matplotlib.gcc40.main.log), while it builds with gcc-4.2 (logfile: py-matplotlib.gcc42.main.log).
