[Pythonmac-SIG] Matplotlib, other libs and the Universal Python

[Christopher Barker]

Hi all,

I'm working on Building a Matplotlib that will work with the Universal 
Python.

I was going along just fine, following the procedure that I've used 
before, but low and behold, I've run into a problem.

MPL Requires libpng and a version of libfreetype that doesn't come with 
OS-X.

In the past, I built static versions of these, put them in a place where 
distutils will find them, and presto!

However, I have a PPC Mac, so I now have PPC libs, and that's won't link 
with the Intel binaries. At least that's what I think the problem is. In 
any case, I know that will be a problem.

So, while I dig around the net for ways to build a universal static libs 
from libpng and libfreetype, does anyone have any hints for me?

Of ready to go packages of these?

-Chris
