Yes, thanks. I figured that out this morning and reran the tests for the 
64-bit matplotlib on 10.7. Almost everything passes now. Just a few K 
and one actual failure that appears to be nothing to worry about (though 
a failing unit test is always worrisome.
I'm still wondering how I managed to build a binary installer that 
installed the test packages on 10.7 and failed to install them on 10.6, 
but I don't have time to investigate.

I did a git checkout of the v1.1.1 tag and compiled a 64-bit version. I
have attached output from the following command:
python -c "import matplotlib as m ; m.test(verbosity=1)"
Note that some of the tests fail with satuses: KEFKK.
I have the following requirements installed:
nose: version 1.1.2
PIL: version 1.1.7
ghsotscript: version 9.05
inkscape: 0.48.3.1
All of these were installed using the latest version of macports.
Is there anything I can do to improve the output of the tests?
