Infos on compatible numpy/scipy versions: http://scipy.org/Download I'm not sure which numpy version is required by the latest mpl, but the latest tarballs should work. If you have numpy/scipy installed via a package manager, check the versions. If they are not too old, try to just upgrade mpl and see if it works, otherwise install (1) numpy, (2) scipy, (3) mpl. Always remove/uninstall/backup the old installations first (to be on the safe side also everything in ~/.matplotlib, maybe back up your matplotlibrc file). Install to /usr/local/lib/python2.x/site-packages (instead of /usr/lib) with python setup.py install --prefix=/usr/local to avoid clashes with your package manager (I experienced such things). -- cheers, steve Random number generation is the art of producing pure gibberish as quickly as possible. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
