Yes we all know the normal install of Matplotlib is rock solid and reliable.
I'm having trouble doing an "egg" (setuptools) install of matplotlib. (I'm hoping eggs will be a nice way to have uniform install instructions across all OSes.) I got numpy egg installed but got this when I tried matplotlib egg install.... gcc: installation problem, cannot exec `cc1plus': No such file or directory gcc: installation problem, cannot exec `cc1plus': No such file or directory error: Setup script exited with error: Command "gcc -pthread -fno-strict-aliasin g -DNDEBUG -g -O3 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -fPIC -Iagg23/include -Isrc -Iswig - I/usr/include/python2.4 -c agg23/src/agg_trans_affine.cpp -o build/temp.linux-i6 86-2.4/agg23/src/agg_trans_affine.o" failed with exit status 1 Exception exceptions.OSError: (2, 'No such file or directory', 'src/_ns_cntr.c') in <bound method CleanUpFile.__del__ of <setupext.CleanUpFile instance at 0xb78 d59ac>> ignored Exception exceptions.OSError: (2, 'No such file or directory', 'src/_ns_backend_ agg.cpp') in <bound method CleanUpFile.__del__ of <setupext.CleanUpFile instance at 0xb78d53cc>> ignored Exception exceptions.OSError: (2, 'No such file or directory', 'src/_ns_nxutils. c') in <bound method CleanUpFile.__del__ of <setupext.CleanUpFile instance at 0x b78d5b8c>> ignored Exception exceptions.OSError: (2, 'No such file or directory', 'src/_ns_image.cp p') in <bound method CleanUpFile.__del__ of <setupext.CleanUpFile instance at 0x b78d57ac>> ignored Exception exceptions.OSError: (2, 'No such file or directory', 'src/_ns_transfor ms.cpp') in <bound method CleanUpFile.__del__ of <setupext.CleanUpFile instance at 0xb796c12c>> ignored Any help greatly appreciated.
