[GRASS-dev] grass + matplotlib on mac osx snow leopard

[Massimo Di Stefano]

Hi All,

I'm working on a script to generate graph from grass using matplotlib
the script works fine on linux , but on osx it works only by command line

the script is :

https://svn.osgeo.org/grass/grass-addons/raster/r.ipso

the error tring to run it on osx is :

GRASS 7.0.svn (spearfish60):~ > r.ipso.py

i have the same error in grass64 and 65 too.
have you any hints about ?

maybe matplotlib is build on my osx only in 64 bit mode .. and this generate the problems, how to debug ? 

if (from grass) i start python and try yo import " from matplotlib import ft2font " i have no errors.

thanks for any suggestion.

Massimo.
