I'm trying to install matplotlib for graphing applications in Python on Mac OS X. When I run "python setup.py install", it gives me this load of errors: http://pastebin.com/u7fL37ic.
A quick snippet:

I installed freetype using MacPorts, and I thought that would fix the issue, but no luck. Gives me same error as before. It looks like it can't find the right freetype files:
BUILDING MATPLOTLIB
matplotlib: 1.0.0
python: 2.6.5 (r265:79359, Mar 24 2010, 01:32:55) [GCC

freetype2: found, but unknown version (no pkg-config)
* WARNING: Could not find 'freetype2' headers in any
* of '.', './freetype2'.
Where should I put the freetype files so that they can be found? Right now they're in /opt/local/lib
Any ideas?
you may also consider using the Enthought distribution (which comes even free for non-commercial usage) It comes fully installed without any difficulty http://www.enthought.com/products/getepd.php (I have no relationship with Enthought whatsoever - I'm just a satisfied user)
