Despite the build of AFNI seems successful if I may trust the log, I am struggling with the installation of AFNI due to problems with matplotlib and Xvfb. The summary & please fix text is quite clear, yet it seems I am unable to fix. I followed the installation instructions on 1. Installation and Background — AFNI, SUMA and FATCAT: v24.1.17. I use a MacBook Pro with M1 chip.
Any help is much appreciated.

I ran into a problem like this recently where new version of numpy was incompatible with the matplotlib version and blocked its installation. In miniconda, you can work around this by specifying the version of numpy like this (tweaking one of our example configuration commands) :
Just to add to Daniel's comment---indeed, I can only think that using Conda/Miniconda/etc. on a macOS is quite helpful nowadays. To be honest, it might even be necessary, given some of the quirks+changes of the macOS package management.
Pages describing how to set up miniconda---which does not even require admin rights/passwords (yay!)---are here. We provide recipes that contain all necessary Python packages. If you have an existing miniconda environment you like+use, you could always just add whatever extra dependencies from this list to that, as well.
Thank you both, this seems to solve the matplotlib issue. However, Xvfb is still missing. Do you have suggestions on how to solve that?

Your PATH in line 76 there does not include "/opt/X11/bin", even though the third installer script adds that to your path. I think this because the installer script puts that information for tcsh (which is your login shell) into the ~/.cshrc, and in your computer setup, the first "please fix" item states is not being sourced/read. That is, the shell is not aware of that information sitting there, and we have to tell it to read that ~/.cshrc file. If that is the case, it should be remediable.
Therefore, can you do this:
open up the following text file (afni_open -e .. will do that generically on any OS, if you have AFNI installed):
afni_open -e ~/.tcshrc
go to the very start of the file (first line) and hit enter once or twice to push the content down, and copy+paste this there:
source $HOME/.cshrc
save and close the file you are editing.
If you open up a new terminal and run afni_system_check.py -check_all, does that still complain about Xvfb not being found?
Hm, OK. I will PM you about sending a tarball of dot-files to me to check.
