The Journey of Installing Matplotlib Python on Mac OS X Lion (continued)

To install Matplotlib, I have to install numpy first. To install numpy, I need GCC. Lion installer package didn't come with XCode, it has to be downloaded separately from MacAppStore for free. I don't dare to even trying it with my sluggish itnternet connection, so I tried others possibility without success untill I found my SnowLeopard DVD.

Finally, I am able to install GCC. I used XCode 3.2 on Snow Leopard DVD in Lion, :). So, the journey is continue…

Check (just for show off, :))



Nugrohos-MacBook-Pro:mysite nugroho$ gcc

Nugrohos-MacBook-Pro:mysite nugroho$ gcc

Now install numpy, oh no… look at this.

It's look like my gcc think it's on Snow Leopard platform, :(. But, there is small hope; the error warning just mentions permission, hm, how about sudo?

ok, let's try again

yeahh…
(don't know if it works as it compiled using GCC designed for Snow Leopard. At least no news is good news, :) )
