matplotlib installation on OS X doesn't support 64 bit architecture
Alright, so after reinstalling my os my python installation died. Python, numpy and ipython work fine, but matplotlib has misteriously vanished. After repeatedly trying to install it from macports, egg, and others, I have managed to do it through their provided .dmg. Now apparently, matplotlib doesn't support 64 bit architecture (?????). Anyway, though maybe someone here had been through a similar problem. So, my specs: MAC OS x 10.7.2, python 2.7 out of the box, numpy 1.5.1 and matplotlib 1.1.0. Here's the output:
>  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
>  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site->packages/matplotlib/pyplot.py", line 23, in <module>
>    from matplotlib.figure import Figure, figaspect
>  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site->packages/matplotlib/figure.py", line 16, in <module>
>    import artist

>ImportError: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site->packages/matplotlib/_path.so: no appropriate 64-bit architecture (see "man python" for >running in 32-bit mode)

Thanks for any help, please let me know if I'm posting this absolutely in the wrong place!
