Matplotlib has recently released a python 3 compatible version. To install matplotlib, you need numpy.
I tried installing numpy according the the instructions for Mac OS Lion 10.7 here (in the hope it might be similar enough), but Terminal got stuck at the first command:
$curl http://python-distribute.org/distribute_setup.py | python3
dyld: Library not loaded: @rpath/libcurl.4.dylib
Referenced from: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin/curl
Reason: Incompatible library version: curl requires version 7.0.0 or later, but libcurl.4.dylib provides version 6.0.0
same for the second one (as expected):
$ curl https://raw.github.com/pypa/pip/master/contrib/get-pip.py | python3
dyld: Library not loaded: @rpath/libcurl.4.dylib
Referenced from: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin/curl
Reason: Incompatible library version: curl requires version 7.0.0 or later, but libcurl.4.dylib provides version 6.0.0
More background info: Numpy is necessary for the installation of matplotlib. Following the instructions here for installing matplotlib, after running
python3 setup.py build
The output looked like this:
basedirlist is: ['/usr/local/', '/usr', '/usr/X11']
============================================================================
BUILDING MATPLOTLIB
matplotlib: 1.2.x
python: 3.2.3 (v3.2.3:3d0686d90f55, Apr 10 2012, 11:25:50)
[GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5666) (dot 3)]
platform: darwin
REQUIRED DEPENDENCIES
numpy: no
* You must install numpy 1.4 or later to build
* matplotlib.
...which is expected because numpy is only installed in the native Mac version of python (2.7) and not in the python 3 version.
Any ideas for how to fix the curl error?
