Matplotlib on Leopard Mac OS

[Massi]

Hi everyone, I've got some problems trying to install matplotlib on my
mac (Leopard OS). I'm following the instructions I found in the
official site to install it from the egg file (http://
matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users/installing.html), but when I run
easy_install ./matplotlib-0.98.3-py2.5-macosx-10.3.egg, I get this
error message:

BUILDING MATPLOTLIB
matplotlib: 0.98.3
python: 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Apr 15 2008, 22:57:26)
[GCC
4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5465)]
platform: darwin

REQUIRED DEPENDENCIES
* numpy 1.1 or later is required; you have
1.0.1
error: Setup script exited with 1

In fact I did install numpy 1.2.1, so I can't understand why it
doesn't fin it! Any help? Thanks in advance.

You must install numpy or scipy before installing matplotlib. If you
do not want to do it yourself you cand download
Scipy superpack
"This shell script will install recent SVN builds of Numpy (1.3) and
Scipy (0.7), as well as Matplotlib (0.98), iPython (0.8.3) and PyMC
(2.0 beta) for OS X 10.5 (Leopard) on Intel Macintosh."
