Good to know pip works. Interesting about conda - yes it’s unfortunate (conda being better for _binary_ libraries commonly found in the scientific community).

Thanks, I’m hoping that Macports will support NumPy 2.0 ([here](https://trac.macports.org/ticket/70251)) before the next pyGPlates release. But yes, if need be, might have to use brew (or find a similar solution for Macports).

Thanks. That will be in the next release. (Also mentioned in [this post](https://discourse.gplates.org/t/source-build-failing-with-qwt-6-3-0/898))
