Okay, I appear to have my self in dependency hell now :s
I'm trying to get a working installation of numpy,scipy and mpl
together.  I'm going about this using the scipy superpack download,
which contains all three and a few supporting things.  Trouble is, the
build of mpl contained in the superpack is missing it's __init__.py
file - so python doesnt recognise it as a module to import.

It was suggested by the SciPy crowd that I should pinch the
__init__.py from a 'working' package of mpl and using that to make the
module work.  Sounds a bit of a bodged way of doing this, and indeed,
using the __init__.py from the most recent mpl release produces the
following:

>>> from pylab import *
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?

    from font_manager import FontProperties
  File

line 39, in ?
    from matplotlib import ft2font
ImportError: Failure linking new module:

  Referenced from:

  Reason: image not found

libfreetype issues.

Anyone got a solution to this problem that will get me a working
install of all 3 modules?

Cheers,

Dave
