When I run pip install matplotlib
(within a virtualenv), the first lines of output are:
Downloading/unpacking matplotlib
Running setup.py egg_info for package matplotlib
basedirlist is: ['/usr/local/', '/usr', '/usr/X11', '/opt/local']

BUILDING MATPLOTLIB
matplotlib: 1.2.0
python: 2.7.3 (default, Dec 14 2012, 13:31:05) [GCC 4.2.1
(Apple Inc. build 5666) (dot 3)]
platform: darwin
REQUIRED DEPENDENCIES
numpy: 1.6.2
freetype2: found, but unknown version (no pkg-config)
OPTIONAL BACKEND DEPENDENCIES
libpng: found, but unknown version (no pkg-config)
Tkinter: Tkinter: 81008, Tk: 8.5, Tcl: 8.5
Gtk+: no
* Building for Gtk+ requires pygtk; you must be able
* to "import gtk" in your build/install environment
Mac OS X native: yes

<snip>
Note
First, contrary to what the output above says, pkg-config
is in fact installed and on the PATH
:
% pkg-config --version
0.27.1
% which pkg-config
/usr/local/bin/pkg-config
Second, qt
is available in the same directory where freetype
and libpng
were found:
% ls -l /usr/local/opt/{freetype,libpng,qt} | cut -c43-
/usr/local/opt/freetype -> ../Cellar/freetype/2.4.10/
/usr/local/opt/libpng -> ../Cellar/libpng/1.5.13/
/usr/local/opt/qt -> ../Cellar/qt/4.8.4/
My question has three parts:
- Where does
pip install matplotlib
get thatbasedirlist
(3rd line of the output above)?- What must I do differently so that
pip install matplotlib
will findpkg-config
?- What must I do differently so that
pip install matplotlib
will findqt
?
On Mac OS: I use which pkg-config
to check installation. If not, use brew to install and it works:
brew install pkg-config
sudo apt-get build-dep python-matplotlib
