matplotlib-devel Mailing List for matplotlib

The problem of building on OSX, in particular the setupext basedir
search path including /sw, /usr and /usr/local, appears so fraught
with peril -- we don't know what kinds of libs built with what kinds
of flags that we will find -- that I removed all the dirs from the
basedir for darwin. Instead, I am hoping that the new makefile.osx
Makefile I have added, which will fetch and build the required libs
and install them into the PREFIX of your choice, will prove more
supportable.
I have tested this on a couple of platforms and it worked well, but
there are other combinations that I do not have access to so please
let me know if this is not viable. I am currently building with
 PREFIX=/Users/jdhunter/dev make -f makefile.osx fetch deps mpl_install
Builds with enthought python make still be broken due to the issues in the FAQ:
 http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/faq/installing_faq.html#building-and-installing-from-source-on-osx-with-epd
Please kick the tires and give some feedback

Hi -
following up on this patch, as suggested, I have added a use-case of
mlab.cohere_pairs to examples/pylab_examples/mri_with_eeg.py.
Cheers,
Ariel
