Error while installing matplotlib
Question:
I’ve tried using pip install matplotlib and git clone then python setup.py install as described in the installation faq for Mac OS 10.7. But I get the same error:
[...]

It seems like I’m missing some package installed in my system? Or there any other better way to install matplotlib?
Thanks!
UPDATE: by googling and search on SO I’ve found that I might lack the package freetype2, however, if I try to install it by homebrew I get a warning message:
[me @ my mac]$ brew search freetype
Apple distributes freetype with OS X, you can find it in /usr/X11/lib.
However not all build scripts look here, so you may need to call ENV.x11
in your formula's install function.
Answers:
Same error, the install worked on one of my Lion machines but not the other. Tracked it down to a missing pkg-config
$ brew install pkg-config
$ pip install -U 'http://sourceforge.net/projects/matplotlib/files/matplotlib/matplotlib-1.1.0/matplotlib-1.1.0.tar.gz/download'

Thanks for the link above. I was able to get matplotlib working with some minor changes. I am documenting the specific error message I ran into, for future reference.
Env:
Mac OS X 10.7.4 (Lion) running stock python 2.7.1 (found in /usr/bin)
I started out trying to get matplotlib working against the default install. setup.py hinted at some problems specifically:
freetype2: found, but unknown version (no pkg-config)
* WARNING: Could not find 'freetype2' headers in any
* of '.', './freetype2'.
and
OPTIONAL BACKEND DEPENDENCIES
libpng: found, but unknown version (no pkg-config)
* Could not find 'libpng' headers in any of '.'
the setup step would fail with the following error message:
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python/numpy/core/include/numpy/__multiarray_api.h:1187: warning: ‘int _import_array()’ defined but not used
lipo: can't open input file: /var/tmp//ccG28dDI.out (No such file or directory)
Googling for this file did not help with anything. I dug around a bit and decided it was not worth my time to go down the virtualenv route.
I ended up following the steps outlined in the jholewinski link above. Installed a new python 2.7.4 in /usr/local/ and followed the instructions there. (I re-installed pkg-config).
I was able to pull the latest version of matplotlib from git and it worked just fine.
Both the libpng (1.5.4) and freetype2 (13.2.7) libraries were present this time.
I had this issue on Ubuntu server 12.04.
I had to install libfreetype6-dev and libpng-dev from the repositories. I was using a virtualenv and installing matplotlib using pip when I ran into this issue.
Hints that I needed to do this came from the warning messages that popup early in the matplotlib installation so keep an eye out for those messages which indicate a dependency is found, but not the headers.
