Hi Charlie; this is a known issue that is fixed in the SVN trunk and 0.6 branch of setuptools; released versions of easy_install are confused by "bdist_dumb" distributions of this sort, as they think the .zip file is of a project called "matplotlib" with a version of "0.87.2-py2.4-macosx10.4.mpkg", and since this is a higher version than "0.87.2" easy_install considers it a better match. I hope to release 0.6b1 shortly, which will fix this problem in the released version. In the meantime, you can "easy_install matplotlib==0.87.2" to work around the problem, or "easy_install setuptools==dev06" to upgrade to the SVN version of the 0.6 branch (soon to be released as 0.6b1). _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
