Thanks, I tried that and it didn't work. I also tried cloning the 
matplotlib repository in git and adding the following to setup.py

    os.environ['CC'] = clang
    os.environ['OBJC'] = clang

Build and installation ran successfully, but when I try to use matplotlib I 
get the following

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
  what():  Could not set the fontsize
------------------------------------------------------------------------
0   signals.so                          0x000000010afdef85 print_backtrace 
+ 37
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unhandled SIGABRT: An abort() occurred.
This probably occurred because a *compiled* module has a bug
in it and is not properly wrapped with sig_on(), sig_off().
Python will now terminate.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am not sure what I else I can try...
