matplotlib builds and includes in its own package the dateutil lib iff matplotlib doesn't find dateutil when matplotlib builds. The matplotlib package has a dependency on dateutil, so dateutil should be getting installed first (which it is) but then matplotlib should *not* include it in itself (which is where things are going bad). Srdjan, is this matplotlib compiled on your local machine, or was it downloaded as a precompiled binary? Try fink -l rebuild matplotlib-py25 to make sure it's built locally to save a logfile of the build process (in /tmp) and so we can see what's happening with the onboard dateutil. dan -- Daniel Macks [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Fink-beginners mailing list [email protected] http://news.gmane.org/gmane.os.apple.fink.beginners
