i am having trouble installing matplotlib from source and thought i would post my issue here. i download matplotlib version 0.91.0
i am using a version of scientific linux, so i can't use rpm packages for some packages # uname -a Linux labcalx 2.6.23.8 #1 Fri Nov 23 10:54:41 EST 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux i verified that i had the following packages installed via rpm: matplotlib core: zlib, zlib-devel, libpng, libpng-devel, freetype, freetype-devel, freetype-utils • gtk backend: gtk2-devel, gtk+-devel, pygtk2, glib-devel, pygtk2-devel, gnome-libs-devel, pygtk2-libglade • tk backend: tcl, tk, tkinter (and tk-devel) the wxpython package is not available on rpm for me (at least not that i can find) so i downloaded the source. that also seemed to compile and install fine. the libraries are in /usr/local/lib and that path is referenced in file /etc/ld.so.conf.d/wx.conf the ldconfig command seemed to find this okay and that looks like it should work. as per the user install guide, i downloaded setuptools-0.6c7-py2.3.egg without any trouble here is my output from the build command: # python setup.py build

different compilers (3.4.6 and 4.1.0), all of which failed with the same 'intp' has not been declared issue. i thought it was a problem with wx, so i edited setup.cfg to auto Gtk = True Gtkagg = True Tkagg = True Wxagg = False that cleared up the wx problem, but it _still_ won't compile. edited setup.cfg to a few different backends (gtk, gtkagg, tkagg) and they all fail. even setting the backend=Svg in the setup.cfg fails. any suggestions???? thanks! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: The Future of Linux Business
