(see matplotlib-devel, "building > matplotlib without X-server connection," 11 Nov 2004) I would like to register my strong support for this patch. The bug in question also prevents one from doing "python setup.py bdist_rpm" on rpm-based systems. I recently tried to debug this myself and got as far as identifying exactly the problem Ludwig describes, but ran out of time/energy before coming up with the fix. I am very grateful to Ludwig for having fixed the problem. I hope his patch will go in soon. --Jim Amundson ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: The Future of Linux Business White Paper from Novell.
