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.

Thanks,

Josh
