Dear Alex, By first installing graphviz the way you suggested I was able to complete the installation of gtk+2-dev in a few steps more. I was then able to get through imagemagick and matplotlib-py25 installations. Thank you
One more snag is that I am not being able to get matplotlib to work within python. It does not seems to see the package when I try to import it. Am I missing something? I went through as many webpages as I could, and in all I found instructions to go to http://fink.sourceforge.net/pdb/package.php/matplotlib-py25 which gives the error Parse error: parse error, unexpected'{'in /home/groups/f/fi/fink/htdocs/pdb/header.inc On Wed, 16 Jul 2008, Alexander K.
