trouble installing matplotlib - syslibroot: multiply specified

[katrine]

Hi,

Hope you guys don't mind a question about building matplotlib from a
biologist who wants to learn how to use python.

I am trying to install matplotlib on my mac with OS X 10.4.11, using
python 2.6.4 and Xcode 2.2.1. I have had a few fights with freetype
and Tkinter, and I think I've got those worked out. I have configured
and installed numpy, freetype, zlib, and libpng. But I am still
getting an error about multiply specified syslibroot - does this make
sense to anyone? Maybe I need to change the PATH somehow? Or maybe
Xcode is not installed properly? (I am using the make.osx provided
with matplotlib, and I am including the top of the file as I am
running it here:

# build mpl into a local install dir with
PREFIX=/usr/local

MPLVERSION=0.99.1.1
PYVERSION=2.6
PYTHON=python${PYVERSION}
ZLIBVERSION=1.2.3
PNGVERSION=1.2.33
FREETYPEVERSION=2.3.7
MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.4

## You shouldn't need to configure past this point


CFLAGS="-arch i386 -arch ppc -I${PREFIX}/include -isysroot /Developer/
SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk"
LDFLAGS="-arch i386 -arch ppc -L${PREFIX}/lib -syslibroot,/Developer/
SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk"

Now here is what happens when I try to make the make.osx:

katrine-whitesons-computer:/Applications/Q/matplotlib-0.99.1.1
katrinewhiteson$ make -f make.osx mpl_build
export MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.4 &&\
export CFLAGS="-arch i386 -arch ppc -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/
include/freetype2 -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk" &&\
export LDFLAGS="-arch i386 -arch ppc -L/usr/local/lib -syslibroot,/
Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk" &&\

Don't know if this will help, but I just googled "syslibroot", and it coughed up
the following discussion:

<url: http://lists.apple.com/archives/unix-porting/2005/Oct/msg00003.html>

Quoting from that thread: "Try not setting LDFLAGS. Passing -isysroot to gcc
might cause it to pass -isyslibroot to the linker if you're using gcc to link."


Cheers,

thanks! I managed to install an egg with easy_install, seems to work,
FINALLY!

thanks for your help,
