Question

I am trying to install matplotlib but facing many problems. I am receiving a common error from both pip install matplotlib as well as trying to build from source which is:

BUILDING MATPLOTLIB

        matplotlib: 1.1.1

            python: 2.7.2 (default, Jun 20 2012, 16:23:33)  [GCC 4.2.1

                    Compatible Apple Clang 4.0

                    (tags/Apple/clang-418.0.60)]

          platform: darwin

REQUIRED DEPENDENCIES

             numpy: 1.6.1

                    * Could not find the headers for numpy.  You may

                    * need to install the development package.

EDIT: Solved it finally. I needed to install gfortran and gcc compilers. Did it using brew and everything worked like a charm!
