I installed SAGE from a binary dowload on my Mac Book Pro (OS X 10.4,
Intel 32 bit chip).  In testing it out I have several problems with
pylab which I use a lot and which I thought was part of the SAGE
package.

1) Pylab can't find the _tkagg module.  Error msg:

ImportError: No module named _tkagg

I saw this discussed in the FAQ, but I don't understand the fix
offered there.  It seems to involve installation by compiling the
source.  I put in an older _tkagg module from my own python
installation, that only gave a warning about having the wrong version.
But trying to use pylab for a simple plot led to the next missing
module,

2) libfreetype.6.dylib is not found by SAGE.  Error msg:

ImportError: dlopen(/Applications/sage/local/lib/python2.6/site-
packages/matplotlib/ft2font.so, 2): Library not loaded: /Users/Shared/
sage/sage-4.2.1/local/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib
  Referenced from: /Applications/sage/local/lib/python2.6/site-
packages/matplotlib/ft2font.so
  Reason: image not found

Can these be fixed for my binary install and, if so, how?

Are there other pylab problems or missing modules?

Thanks for any help.
