我已经安装了 matplotlib-1.2.1 以及 numpy-1.8.0。注意 - 我正在使用安装了 Homebrew 软件的系统 python - 我设置了 $PYTHONPATH 以便 Python 从 /Library/Python/x.y/site-packages 加载(其中 pip 安装到)。

这里是安装matplotlib的代码(配置)

然后，在复制和构建文件之后，它到达 build_ext 并由于缺少头文件而失败。

最佳答案

我也遇到了同样的问题，最后通过查看编译命令找到了解决办法。真的很简单:

ln -s /usr/local/opt/freetype/include/freetype2 /usr/local/include/freetype

关于python - `Sudo pip install matplotlib` 找不到 freetype header 。 [OS X Mavericks/10.9]，我们在Stack Overflow上找到一个类似的问题： https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20572366/
