libpng version incompatibility in fresh installation of IPython

Question

I used this guide to install the \"scientific stack\" for Python (OSX 10.9.2, brewed Python 2.7.6, IPython 2.0, matplotlib 1.3.1, libpng 1.6.10). Everything was looking good

Answer 1

While it is a bit ridiculous having multiple copies of libpng around, this problem results from the path for the pip compiler and python being different. You could also fix this problem through the path, and then recompiling, but the above solutions work too.
