test failure for ase--3.2.0

[cole008@…]

I am running python 2.6.2, matplotlib-0.99, pygtk-2.0, and numpy-1.3.0 on a Mac-OSX 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM. I am running Leopard (not Snow Leopard). I am not aware that pyatoms or scipy are required for the build but in any case these installed also. I have installed both the most recent version on ase-3.2.0 as well as the development branch with no problems whatsoever following the instructions given here: ​https://wiki.fysik.dtu.dk/ase/download.html. However, when I run the test I get the errors. Note these errors occur whether or not I include —no-display or not, even though it should work for me as I have display options (pygtk and matplotlib) installed. They are configured correctly, I tested against a python fitting program I have been working on before sending this ticket. The errors are as follows:

io.py (ScriptTestCase) … ERROR

Any help would be greatly appreciated. If this has been reported already, sorry!
