I'm missing some understanding here, and cannot build matplotlib-0.90.1 nor the apparently missing libraries. This workstation is currently running Slackware-11.0 with the following installed (or missing, in the case of PyGObject):
wxPython-2.8.0.1 wxGTK-2.8.0 pygobject: /usr/lib/pkgconfig/pygobject-2.0.pc; no PyGObject pygtk-2.10.3 Since I don't have a mental (or documented) map of how all the pieces fit together, I'm not sure how to fix the problems encountered. The matplotlib build fails because the compiler cannot find libraries that are present: In file included from /usr/include/bits/errno.h:25, from /usr/include/errno.h:36, from /usr/include/python2.4/Python.h:38, from src/_isnan.c:1: /usr/include/linux/errno.h:4:23: asm/errno.h: No such file or directory In file included from /usr/include/bits/errno.h:25, from /usr/include/errno.h:36, from /usr/include/python2.4/Python.h:38, from src/_isnan.c:1: /usr/include/linux/errno.h:4:23: asm/errno.h: No such file or directory error: Command "gcc -pthread -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -O3 -march=i486 -mtune=i686 -fPIC -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/include -I. -I/usr/include/python2.4 -c src/_isnan.c -o build/temp.linux-i686-2.4/src/_isnan.o" failed with exit status 1 That is, /usr/include/linux/asm/error.h exists, and _isnan.c is present at /tmp/SBo/matplotlib-0.90.1/src/_isnan.c /usr/local/numpy/numpy/core/src/_isnan.c /usr/local/matplotlib-0.87.7/src/_isnan.c When I try to run matplotlib examples from within ipython, invoking the shell with the -pylab switch produces this error: File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py", line 42, in ? raise ImportError( ImportError: PyGTK requires PyGObject 2.11.1 or higher, but () was found As noted above, I have the .pc file but that's all. I'd like guidance on how to fix this mess so I can build, learn, and use matplotlib-0.90.1. Once I understand the relationships involved, I'll be able to get the latest version built and running on my notebook which now runs Slackware-12.0 with Python-2.5.1. Rich -- Richard B.
