I get an error while building matplotlib1-3.1. It seems "freetype" is missing. I copy pasted the relevant log below.
My computer is kind of old (mac osx 10.5.8) :

Please email sage-devel (

explaining the problem and including the relevant part of the log file
/Users/slabbe/Applications/sage-6.2.beta6/logs/pkgs/matplotlib-1.3.1.log
Describe your computer, operating system, etc.
If you want to try to fix the problem yourself, *don't* just cd to
/Users/slabbe/Applications/sage-6.2.beta6/local/var/tmp/sage/build/matplotlib-1.3.1 and type 'make' or whatever is appropriate.
Instead, the following commands setup all environment variables
correctly and load a subshell for you to debug the error:
(cd '/Users/slabbe/Applications/sage-6.2.beta6/local/var/tmp/sage/build/matplotlib-1.3.1' && '/Users/slabbe/Applications/sage-6.2.beta6/sage' --sh)
When you are done debugging, you can type "exit" to leave the subshell.
