Its done. Gael, maybe the following situation caused the trouble: 1) user downloads mpl source 2) builds matplotlib - traits now exists in the temproary build directory 3) installs enthought traits 4) installs matplotlib - traits would not have been built in this case, its already installed on the system, but it still exists in the build directory and gets installed anyway. Seems unlikely, but who knows. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
