I am new to trying to build matplotlib from svn and believe I am up against the issue described in this thread. That is, building matplotlib on Python 2.6.2/Windows, compiling/linking with MinGW seem to go fine but upon trying to
from pylab import * I get .... ....(lots of traceback that culminates below) .... C:\Python262\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\image.py in <module>() 19 # For clarity, names from _image are given explicitly in this module: 20 import matplotlib._image as _image ---> 21 import matplotlib._png as _png 22 23 # For user convenience, the names from _image are also imported into ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified procedure could not be found. ) even though matplotlib\_png.pyd exists. I am wondering if there has been any progress on this front? I found http://www.nabble.com/Python-2.6.2-installation--td23996471.html this thread which suggests using Visual Studio 2008 (VS9) instead of MinGW, but that was for 0.98.5.3. I installed VS9 and followed the instructions in that thread but now when I try to import pylab Visual Studio's Just-In-Time Debugger pops up telling me I have an unhandled win32 exception in python.exe Can anyone comment on a verified way of building the latest matplotlib on Windows/Python 2.6.2? I keep going down dead ends and would like to figure out if its me or if I have just been down now-known bad paths.
