You need Visual Studio 2008 (MSVC9) to compile extensions for Python >=2.6 on Windows. "python setup.py build" works once you have built the prerequisites. See <http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users/installing.html>. I link against the static libraries of libpng, zlib, and freetype, compiled with the /MD switch. You may have to adjust your %LIB% and %INCLUDE% environment variables and rename the lib files in order to be found by the matplotlib build system. -- Christoph ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ThinkGeek and WIRED's GeekDad team up for the Ultimate GeekDad Father's Day Giveaway.
