OS X 10.7 + Python 3.3 + numpy + matplotlib

Question

I have been trying to get Matplotlib running in 3.3 with no luck.

I downloaded the latest github repos for matplotlib, which depends on numpy.

For numpy I did 'python3 setup.py build --fcompiler=gnu95' then 'python3 setup.py install'. I think I installed gfortran a while ago, not sure if it comes w/ xcode.

I built installed matplotlib the same way, except not specifying a compiler - just 'python3 setup.py build'

Numpy only has a handfull of errors on unit testing, whereas matplotlib is one giant fail.

numpy unit tests: http://pastebin.com/5XF0qAe5 matplotlib unit tests: http://pastebin.com/DHGeFSGz

I don't know what to try next! I would much rather learn how to build it myself than download a binary.

Total noob question: do I need to install this from any particular directory? I just unzipped right in my downloads and cd'd to that directory.

I'm just going off of the Matplotlib install page:

Which says "Click on the latest release of the “matplotlib” package, choose your python version (2.6, 2.7 or 3.2) and your platform (macosx or win32)."

I know that I've reverted to python 2.7 in order to use matplotlib on my Mac.

There is no package for 3.3 on OS X. So far I've successfully installed it, but there are tons of errors when I run the tests. I'm getting plots though.
